Convert this Linq query from query syntax to lambda expression

Question

I'm not sure I like linq query syntax...its just not my preference. But I don't know what this query would look like using lambda expressions, can someone help?

from securityRoles in user.SecurityRoles
from permissions in securityRoles.Permissions
where permissions.SecurableEntity.Name == "Unit" && permissions.PermissionType.Name == "Read"
orderby permissions.PermissionLevel.Value descending
select permissions

There is a many-to-many relationship between users and security roles that makes this extra confusing.

Thanks! Kelly

Like this:

user.SecurityRoles.SelectMany(securityRoles => securityRoles.Permissions)
                  .Where(permissions => permissions.SecurableEntity.Name == "Unit" && permissions.PermissionType.Name == "Read")
                  .OrderByDescending(permissions => permissions.PermissionLevel.Value)
