description: Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell returned from his star-crossed mission in Afghanistan with his bones shattered and his heart broken. So many had given their lives to save him-and he would have readily done the same for them. As he recuperated he wondered why he and others from America's founding to today had been willing to sacrifice everything-including themselves-for the sake of family nation and freedom.In Service we follow Marcus Luttrell to Iraq where he returns to the battlefield as a member of SEAL Team 5 to help take on the most dangerous city in the world: Ramadi the capital of war-torn Al Anbar Province. There in six months of high-intensity urban combat he would be part of what has been called the greatest victory in the history of U.S. Special Operations forces. We also return to Afghanistan and Operation Redwing where Luttrell offers powerful new details about his miraculous rescue. Throughout he reflects on what it really means to take on a higher calling about the men he's seen lose their lives for their country and the legacy of those who came and bled before.A thrilling war story Service is also a profoundly moving tribute to the warrior brotherhood to the belief that nobody goes it alone and no one will be left behind.
