Produktbeschreibung

The gripping true story of an elite Alaskan pararescue jumper's death-defying missions and heroic sacrifices.

"That Others May Live" is the mantra of the fearless men of Alaska's 212th Pararescue Unit, the PJs, one of the most elite military forces on the planet. In Never Quit, Jimmy Settle, a former special ops soldier, shares his incredible journey from a small-town shoe store clerk to a highly trained warrior and decorated hero.

Follow Settle through the grueling Alaskan wilderness training, daring rescue missions, and intense battles against the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Experience the heart-pounding moment when he is shot in the head during a high-stakes operation in Afghanistan's treacherous Watapur Valley and his unwavering determination to return to the fight.

Faced with a devastating choice, Settle finds himself forced to leave his own team behind when his helicopter is hit and leaking fuel. With the bullets flying and the odds stacked against him, he risks everything to return to the fray and bring his brothers home.

Honest, raw, and adrenaline-fueled, Never Quit is an unforgettable memoir of bravery, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds forged in the heat of combat. A testament to the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit and the courage of America's elite warriors.
