The Last Punisher: A SEAL Team THREE Sniper's True Account of the Battle of Ramadi

The Last Punisher is a first-person memoir by Kevin Lacz, a Navy SEAL sniper who served with SEAL Team THREE during the Iraq War. Lacz was part of the unit that included Chris Kyle, Mike Monsoor, Ryan Job, and Marc Lee—known as "The Punishers"—who played a key role in the 2006 Battle of Ramadi. The memoir details Lacz's deployment from his first mission through combat operations in Ramadi, covering the heated firefights, extreme conditions, and daily dangers his team faced. Lacz describes how his unit secured pivotal locations during the battle and how the men formed strong bonds throughout their tour. Beyond combat accounts, Lacz reflects on how his military experiences shaped him personally and his pride in his service during one of the country's most difficult military campaigns. The book also covers his return to the United States, where he appeared in a film adaptation directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Bradley Cooper.
