SEAL of Honor by Gary L Williams Book Summary

Lt.Michael Patrick Murphy, a Navy SEAL, earned the Medal of Honor on 28 June 2005 for his bravery during a fierce fight with the Taliban in the remote mountains of eastern Afghanistan. The first to receive the nation's highest military honor for service in Afghanistan, Lt. Murphy was also the first naval officer to earn the medal since the Vietnam War, and the first SEAL to be honored posthumously. A young man of great character, he is the subject of Naval Special Warfare courses on character and leadership, and an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, naval base, school, post office, ball park, and hospital emergency room have been named in his honor. A bestselling book by the sole survivor of Operation Red Wings, Marcus Luttrell, has helped make Lt. Murphy's SEAL team's fateful encounter with the Taliban one of the Afghan war's best known engagements. Published on the 5th anniversary of the engagement, SEAL of Honor also tells the story of that fateful battle, but it does so from a very different perspective being focused on the life of Lt. Murphy. This biography uses his heroic action during this deadly firefight in Afghanistan, as a window on his character and attempts to answer why Lt. Murphy readily sacrificed his life for his comrades. SEAL of Honor is the story of a young man, who was noted by his peers for his compassion and for his leadership being guided by an extraordinary sense of duty, responsibility, and moral clarity. In tracing Lt. Murphy's journey from a seemingly ordinary life on New York's Long Island, to that remote mountainside a half a world away, SEAL of Honor will help readers understand how he came to demonstrate the extraordinary heroism and selfless leadership that earned him the nation's highest military honor. Moreover, the book brings the Afghan war back to the home front, focusing on Lt. Murphy's tight knit family and the devastating effect of his death upon them as they watched the story of Operation Red Wings unfold in the news. The book attempts to answer why Lt. Murphy's service to his country and his comrades was a calling faithfully answered, a duty justly upheld, and a life, while all too short, well-lived.

Heros. Every male in our family for three generations served in our military. One brother died in a training accident while piloting a CH47. This story brought tears to my eyes. God bless our men and women who stand guard over us all. John E Massengill Msgt USAF (Ret)

Proud to be American. I have read Seal of honor and Lone Survivor, I have also met Marcus Lutrell. The men of this unit and their comrades who continue the fight make me proud to be an American. I also thank there families for their sacrifice as well.

Seal of Honor. This well-written and descriptive book is amazingly difficult to put down. It tugged at my heart yet made my nerves tingle with excitement and the accomplishments of Navy Seal Lt. Michael Murphy. I have only read one other book that has been able to keep me as interested. Navy Seal Lt. Michael Murphy is the epitome of Courage, Commitment & Selfless Service. Although I do not know him & will never get an opportunity to meet him, I am honored to get to know him through this excellent writing; through the story. A must read for any soldier, sailor or service member! I loved every page! Thank you! SGT C-M C Battery, 3/265th ADA BDE

Must read. Any American who values their freedom should this to appreciate the sacrifices of true hero. God bless Lt. Murphy and all who serve.

Seal of Honor. Excellent! A must read.

Great man, bad writing. Lt. Murphy was undoubtedly a great man and a true American hero. This book, however, isn’t written very well. It seems to stumble along as if the author is writing things as they come to him. If you can look past that, or at least tolerate it, Lt. Murphy is a man well worth learning more about.

SEAL of Honor. Not a bad read if you are more intrested in the SEAL culture and oeprational deployment methods etc. If you looking ofr a book ecpecting first hand SEAL deployments and expereiences then this is not the book for you. Very little on the actual battle itself, so i dont think worth the read if you more into the actual missions and eployments of these special warriors.

Seal of Honor. If you feel that you lack dedication in your daily life, you might just need some effective contrast. The details of what can be accomplished with true dedication, are detailed in the life and death of Lt. M.P. Murphy. He lived his life as a hero, and always gave his all. Even after he has passed, he is still giving back, through this reflection of how he lived his life through total commitment.

Thank you. Thank you for writing this portrait of a great man. Thank you for also honoring the bond between the men Lt. Murphy trained and later fought beside. Not enough is done for these heroes. A special thank you for the families as well.

Wow. Everyone should read this book to understand what these men do for our freedom. I cried all through this book.

Great Deep Dive into the events of Red Wings. I must say this was an excellent read.. The book memorializes MPM as a hero which he clearly was. An American Patriot, few like him. I am thankful for folks like MPM who died taking the fight to those who want to harm us. Enduring Freedom is an on going operation with many more stories of heart break to come. I hope an pray it will be worth the high sacrifice paid by our sons. I really hope Americans would appreciate the sacrifice made by MPM and others. This book will help you feel more thankful... Thank you MPM, MA, DD, ML for a job well done!

Amazing. I have never written a review in my 52 years of life. This book took me to places I can only describe as AMAZING! I normally rip through books very fast to get to the next one. Every word had me glued. This telling of Mike's life has changed me forever. There are not enough stars to rate this telling of another persons life. Michael Murphy was someone born to be respected,however this author made the story so real I became involved in this family's grief. It took several tries to get through the Medal Of Honor ceremonies because it was SO MOVING how our President was genuinely involved, rather than going through the motions of an obligation. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Another great read. I'm glad I was able to learn about this man. And all those like him. You won't regret reading this.

Hero. Great account of a true American hero...this country needs more people like The Murph.

Truly inspirational. This book, along with Lone Survivor, should be required reading for our high school students, so they truly understand the price of freedom some are willing to pay for this great nation. The commitment and sacrifice of men like Mike Murphy and his SEAL team and all other special forces is truly inspirational. This is a great book. Read it!

Seal of Honor. I am not one who likes to read, however, I could not put this book down. It is an AWESOME read. I hope they make it into a movie soon. Thanks to the Lt. Michael Murphy and his family for his sacrifice. Freedom is not free and I'm forever thankful for the sacrifice made by the men depicted in Seal of Honor. God Bless America and its men and women of our armed forces.

Seal of Honor. I think if you are a man that is striving to better yourself this book must be read.

Great read. Great great great

Excellent. Excellent book about an amazing hero.....

Fantastic. A perfect book to read after Lone Survivor.

Disappointed. Great story but poorly written. With all due respect to the Murphy's and a medal of honor recipient, this reads more like a military manual rather than a novel.

Seal of Honor. Seal of Honor provides an in-depth study of an American hero. Reading about all the Seals is truly inspiring. I cannot believe the level of dedication and loyalty these men demonstrate on a daily basis. These are the role models for my children to emulate. Rest in pease Michael and all your brave comrades.
