La historia real de unos hombres destruidos por la guerra.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.
