Add a CommentA great book. The second half os about the actual mission to take out Osama. It really paints a vivid picture of the danger they faced and how incredibly brave the seals are. A highly recommended read.
I enjoyed this book. It was more about how the Seals trained to get to Bin Laden then the entire mission. Shows how these brave men do all the "wet work" and the politicians take the credit. Too bad we can't have a ticker tape parade for these guys.
Good book. Watched the interview he gave in disguise on 60 Minutes....great writing.
Consider this book to be fiction.
this is one of the best books that has or will exist! one of my favorite books EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another awesome book about the dedication and bravery these young warriors sacrifice for our freedoms every day. Highly recommended.
This book was pretty good. It was not quite what I expected though. I thought it was going to be entirely about the mission. However, it was more biographical about the author and it culminated in the mission in which Bin Laden was killed. Fast read. Entertaining.
When I decided to read this book I was afraid it might be too rednecked and jingoistic for my delicate tastes. However, it turned out to be pleasantly surprising. It was interesting and very well written. I wondered about how much the Pakistani military knew about the raid ahead of time. After reading this book it would be hard not to believe that at least some were aware. Also, it was surprising to find out about how prepared bin Laden was to defend against a raid such as this. This is an important book written by one who was there if only because it is necessary to set the record straight and dispel the mythmakers and sensationalist news stories.
"This book sent the Pentagon into a spiral as it claims that Osama Bin Laden was unarmed when he was killed by the Navy Seal mission. Attempts were made to stop the publication but although we haven’t received it yet it would seem that it will soon be on its way."

This is the book that the Navy seal, who goes by the psuedo-nym of Mark Owen, wrote to clear things up. he has since been threatened by the government that he might be held accountable for things said in the book. Nothing in the book gave away any classified secrets or anything. This is the man who followed the man who shot bin Laden into his bedroom and helped finish him off, as he flopped around the floor after having his right eye and part of his head shot off. Mr. Owen, a true American hero, only did this book to set the record straight because the media was leaked almost all the info of the raid within hours of the mission by the Obama administration. The only thing these guys have left is their anonminity and Mr. Owen just wanted the real story to get out. Most of the profits from this book are going to the survivors and families of Navy Seals that have been killed in battle. A great book, and a great read, by a true American Hero!
