Defend Us In Battle: The True Story of MA2 Navy SEAL Medal of Honor Recipient Michael A. Monsoor

• Inspiring biography of Michael Monsoor
• Navy SEAL who sacrificed himself on a mission
• How he courageously died for the sake of brotherly love
• Meaningful, faithful and edifying work that memorializes a virtuous hero
• Wonderful gift for patriots and those who enjoy military biographies

On September 29, 2006, Michael Monsoor and two 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 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.
