Historia
Four US Navy SEALS departed one clear night in early July 2005 for the mountainous Afghanistan-Pakistan border for a reconnaissance mission. Their task was to document the activity of an al Qaeda leader rumored to have a small army in a Taliban stronghold. Five days later, only one of those Navy SEALS made it out alive. This is the story of the only survivor of Operation Redwing, SEAL team leader Marcus Luttrell, and the extraordinary firefight that led to the largest loss of life in American Navy SEAL history.

I’m not sure if it was the narrator or the writer, but this was an in modest effort at explaining a complex subject.

Hard to hang-in until the thread embargoes. Poetically written. Not sure if I liked it or not, but glad I read it.

Historia
Abraham Lincoln is justly revered for his brilliance, compassion, humor, and rededication of the United States to achieving liberty and justice for all. He led the nation into a bloody civil war to uphold the system of government established by the US Constitution - a system he regarded as the “last best hope of mankind”. But how did Lincoln understand the Constitution?

Very sad with no redemption qualities even if you are fascinated by Egypt and the Pharonic history

Overpowering Political Vitriol
Revisado: 01-13-22
The storyline is tired and overused. The potentially interesting political insights are too repetitive and lack any real depth. Stick with Penny's 'Three Pines' stories.
