“One of the very best books to come out of the war in Iraq,” (Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, bestselling author of On Killing), The Last Punisher is a gripping and intimate on-the-ground memoir from a Navy SEAL who was part of SEAL Team THREE with American Sniper Chris Kyle. Experience his deployment, from his first mission to his first kill to his eventual successful return to the United States to play himself in the Oscar-nominated film directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Bradley Cooper. The Last Punisher is a “thoughtful, funny, and raw…always compelling” (Bing West, New York Times bestselling author of No True Glory) first-person account of the Iraq War. With wry humor and moving testimony, Kevin Lacz tells the bold story of his tour in Iraq with SEAL Team THREE, the warrior elite of the Navy. This legendary unit, known as “The Punishers,” included Chris Kyle (American Sniper), Mike Monsoor, Ryan Job, and Marc Lee. These brave men were instrumental in securing the key locations in the pivotal 2006 Battle of Ramadi. Minute by minute, Lacz relays the edge-of-your-seat details of his team’s missions in Ramadi, offering a firsthand glimpse into the heated combat, extreme conditions, and harrowing experiences they faced every day. Through it all, Lacz and his teammates formed unbreakable bonds and never lost sight of the cause: protecting America with their fight. “A rare glimpse into the mind of a Navy SEAL,” (Clint Emerson, New York Times bestselling author of 100 Deadly Skills) Kevin Lacz brings you onto the battlefield and relays the tough realities of war. At the same time, Lacz shares how these experiences made him a better man and how proud he is of his contributions to one of this country’s most difficult military campaigns. The Last Punisher is the story of a SEAL and an “honest-to-God American hero” (Mike Huckabee, #1 bestselling author) who was never afraid to answer the call.

A SEAL Team THREE Sniper's True Account of the Battle of Ramadi

The Last Punisher

Esta es la historia de un equipo de operaciones especiales, el grupo SEAL llamado los "Castigadores", que participó en la batalla de Ramadi en 2006. Conocíamos sus hazañas de guerra a partir de las memorias de uno de sus miembros, Chris Kyle, pero la versión que nos ofrece Kevin Lacz, el último superviviente del grupo, basada en su diario personal de campaña, resulta enriquecedora, y muy distinta, ya que no nos habla de héroes individuales, sino de la acción de un colectivo. Porque esta salvaje forma de guerra –el acecho, el disparo lejano que puede matar a un inocente, la respuesta de los insurgentes...- no es obra de máquinas de matar, sino de seres humanos que no podrían resistir la tensión sin el contrapunto de la camaradería. Kevin Lacz, conocido en el grupo como Dauber, nos muestra en estas páginas la historia real de unos hombres destruidos por la guerra.
