Marcus Luttrell is best known for Lone Survivor, a military memoir about a 2005 U.S. Navy SEAL operation in Afghanistan. Written with Patrick Robinson, the book recounts Luttrell's training, deployment and participation in Operation Red Wings, during which his four-man reconnaissance team was attacked and he became the only team member to survive. The account focuses on combat, loyalty, endurance and his rescue after being sheltered by Afghan villagers. Service: A Navy SEAL at War broadens the memoir beyond that single mission and includes later service and reflections on fellow servicemen. Luttrell's books are first-person military narratives shaped by his own perspective and should be read alongside independent histories when readers want a wider account of the operation or war. For modern military memoir, special-operations history and survival under combat conditions, Lone Survivor is the book most closely associated with Luttrell and the account around which his later writing is understood.
