Summary

On September 29, 2006, Michael Monsoor and three SEAL snipers watched vigilantly for enemy activity from their rooftop post in Ar Ramadi, Iraq。 When a grenade thrown from insurgents bounced off Michael's chest, he could have escaped。 Instead, he threw himself onto the live grenade, shielding his fellow soldiers from the immediate explosion。 Michael died thirty minutes later, having made the ultimate sacrifice。

As George Monsoor (Michael's father) and Rose Rea show us in Defend Us in Battle, Michael had prepared for this selfless act all his life--a life that inspires us to have a similar generosity of heart。 This fast-paced, compelling biography


tells the true story of a quiet boy from California who achieved his dream of becoming a Navy SEAL and saved numerous lives throughout his deployment
recounts how Michael's childhood of asthma and being bullied made him a staunch defender of justice and passionate about never quitting
draws on interviews, military documents, and eyewitness accounts to detail Michael’s remarkable military career and devotion to God and others
is an ideal gift for readers of military biographies such as American Sniper the Last Punisher,and Unbroken,as well as for anyone eager to remember that this world still has heroes
In addition to the Medal of Honor, Michael received a Silver Star, a Bronze Star Medal, and the Purple Heart for his years serving his country。 But his greatest legacy is in the hearts of those he inspired to live, and even die, for the sake of brotherly love。

Defend Us in Battle by George Monsoor is a fantastic tribute to those that defend ones country and to Michael Monsoor who gave his life for his brothers。 The book is a fast read and very well written and a little anusual for me since it's not often I read about no longer living people。 It tells a story about a man growing up and his attitude towards life an adversities and such a remarkable man he was。 The book also has a few extra dimensions since I've been listening to both Jocko Willink and L Defend Us in Battle by George Monsoor is a fantastic tribute to those that defend ones country and to Michael Monsoor who gave his life for his brothers。 The book is a fast read and very well written and a little anusual for me since it's not often I read about no longer living people。 It tells a story about a man growing up and his attitude towards life an adversities and such a remarkable man he was。 The book also has a few extra dimensions since I've been listening to both Jocko Willink and Leif Babin on podcasts where they tell about there time in Ramadi。 The book also tells a story about the family left behind and there view on things。 If you like me sometimes feel like life is crap this is a good book to read and reflect over your own problems。 I for one realizes that I have a good life with lots of comforts。 I must thank Netgalley and Harper Horizon for letting me read this book and of course George Monsoor for sharing his sons story。 Great book。 。。。more
