Navy SEAL sniper and New York Times bestselling author Brandon
Webb's personal account of eight of his friends and fellow SEALs who
made the ultimate sacrifice.
"Knowing these great men--who they were, how they lived, and what they
stood for--has changed my life. We can't let them be forgotten. We've
mourned their deaths. Let's celebrate their lives."--Brandon Webb
As a Navy SEAL, Brandon Webb rose to the top of the world's most elite
sniper corps, experiencing years of punishing training and combat
missions from the Persian Gulf to Afghanistan. Along the way, Webb
served beside, trained, and supported men he came to know not just as
fellow warriors, but as friends and, eventually, as heroes.
This is his personal account of eight extraordinary SEALs who gave all
for their comrades and their country with remarkable valor and abiding
humanity: Matt "Axe" Axelson, who perished on Afghanistan's Lone
Survivor mission; Chris Campbell, Heath Robinson, and JT Tumilson, who
were among the casualties of Extortion 17; Glen Doherty, Webb's best
friend, killed while helping secure the successful rescue and extraction
of American CIA and State Department diplomats in Benghazi; and other
close friends, classmates, and fellow warriors. These are men who left
behind powerfully instructive examples of what it means to be alive--and
what it truly means to be a hero.
