Leave No Man Behind is the story of the 75th Ranger Regiment's rescue mission following one of the deadliest Special Operations incidents in Afghanistan-a grueling search for twelve Navy SEAL casualties and eight downed Night Stalkers ... but just one lone survivor. On June 28, 2005, a four-man Navy SEAL reconnaissance team was ambushed in northeastern Afghanistan. Turbine 33, carrying sixteen elite American warriors, was quickly dispatched but struck down by a rocket-propelled grenade near the rugged peak of Sawtalo Sar. Commanders called on the largest element of US Special Operations, the 75th Ranger Regiment, to lead the rescue mission. Former Ranger Dr. Tony Brooks gives a firsthand account of the daring recovery of Turbine 33 and the subsequent search for the remaining compromised Navy SEAL recon team, including the lone survivor Marcus Luttrell.
