For the first time anywhere, the first-person account of the
planning and execution of the Bin Laden raid from a Navy
Seal who confronted the terrorist mastermind and witnessed
his final moments. From the streets of Iraq to the rescue of Captain Richard
Phillips in the Indian Ocean, and from the mountaintops of
Afghanistan to the third floor of Osama Bin Laden’s
compound, operator Mark Owen of the U.S. Naval Special
Warfare Development Group--commonly known as SEAL Team Six--
has been a part of some of the most memorable special
operations in history, as well as countless missions that
never made headlines. No Easy Day puts readers alongside Owen and the other
handpicked members of the twenty-four-man team as they train
for the biggest mission of their lives. The blow-by-blow
narrative of the assault, beginning with the helicopter
crash that could have ended Owen’s life straight through to
the radio call confirming Bin Laden’s death, is an essential
piece of modern history. In No Easy Day, Owen also takes readers onto the field of
battle in America’s ongoing War on Terror and details the
selection and training process for one of the most elite
units in the military. Owen’s story draws on his youth in
Alaska and describes the SEALs’ quest to challenge
themselves at the highest levels of physical and mental
endurance. With boots-on-the-ground detail, Owen describes
numerous previously unreported missions that illustrate the
life and work of a SEAL and the evolution of the team after
the events of September 11. In telling the true story of the
SEALs whose talents, skills, experiences, and exceptional
sacrifices led to one of the greatest victories in the War
on Terror, Mark Owen honors the men who risk everything for
our country, and he leaves readers with a deep understanding
of the warriors who keep America safe.
