This is an awesome inside look at a part of the military few know about. I enjoyed every minute of it. This guy and his fellow team mates are true heroes.

Good, Fast & Concise

Seal Target Geronimo , same story but I different Perspective.

It was just a good clean reading, he kept it interesting.

Yes.

Well written firsthand account, interesting from beginning to end, and I can see why the Whitehouse didn’t want it to get out.

I've read many military books and this one follows the same, old mold. Training chapters, guy stuff chapters... then finally at the end the interesting stuff. The prose is better than most but this book will not be a classic. All the hype over "classified information" in the book is surely just hype.

It is an entertaining story but it feels contrived. Maybe the significance of the actions are what belittles the story telling. I found the authors disingenuous. That is not to say I didn't believe he may well have done the things he said he did. I just felt that his telling of the story was a version of actual events. It did not feel like the actual truth.

I would welcome a more honest book by the authors.

Was not memorable. That is to say I felt the performance was enhanced by the neutrality of the narration.

It needs a follow up book by another member of the dev-gru team. Not by these authors. I might listen to another tale from the authors however I fear another book would probably only make it to my wish list.

I was jaded by Bravo 2 Zero by Andy McNab and the controversy that it sparked. I am drawn to listen to the elite world of specialized soldiers, I just wish the amazing skills they have could translate into great story telling skills. I forgive them that it rarely does. I appreciate all they do for the free world.

yes puts you right in the action.

Walt, Liked his sense of humor

He read it with a feeling that he was Mark

YES!

That the truth was told about the brave men who killed UBL. Oh, and definitely that those brave guys got him. It was great to know that at least justice was served...unexpected, swift and fast.... Just like UBL plotted and had executed the horrible tragedy of 9/11! He was definitely surprised and he hadn't even had time to use his "Just For Men" that the guys found in the bathroom!

It was done well.

Can't really say just one!...but I'm really glad the truth is out there now. I know they don't fight for "acknowledgement", but between the politicians and the crazy "internet conspiracy" theories, it was time someone who was actually there got to tell the story.

I'm glad that I read it. At first I thought, after reading, that this author had done something horrible. But after reading reviews from other Navy Seals, retired or otherwise, I realized they weren't angry. Seems as though the people who are actually angry are in this current administration.I've never listened to any book about the military before, but after this one I've since listened to American Sniper by Chris Kyle, The Warrior Elite, by Dick Couch and my favorite out of all, Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell. It was awesome that the BUD/S class that Dick Couch is observing and writing about is Class 228 that Marcus graduated from. He mentions Marcus several times in the book. I can't wait to read Marcus' next book :Service: A Navy Seal At War. I have so much respect and am truly in awe of all of our women and men in the military! I am so thankful for them - these books just reminded me that they are fighting for my freedom.

amazing rendition of facts

the truth

yes, great!

I only laughed once but I cryed at the end with his touching sacrifice

I loved this book!

This book lets us live the lives of some very incredible heroes who sacrifice so much for their country. It is exciting and insightful and important reading for today. The narration is perfect for the military adventure.

The telling of the killing of Bin Ladin is chilling and incredible.

I listened to the book in two sittings - I couldn't stop.

Historically relevant.

Awe-inspiring. I appreciate the author's detail of this mission and the importance he placed on giving everyone credit who helped carry out the mission. These Navy seals really arent the ego-maniacs that other "seal books" make them out to be. The seals in this book are true heroes.
Narration was solid.

If you have not read any of the previous dozen books written by former Navy Seals you will enjoy this, but there is nothing new told here and it lacks the depth and craft of some others.

No

Average

The author's childhood hunting in Alaska, his basic Seal training.
