Absolutely - in fact, I have already listened to some parts of the book many times trying to digest the details of those who are SEALS.

By the way, I am Stephen, not Rebecca.

"Mark Owen" told about some of the times in his life when he failed, and although he did not grow up knowing that he would someday capture the attention of the world, he continued to learn from his mistakes. He continued to humbly accept the criticisms that would work to strengthen him. He never gave up, and he triumphed when it really counted.

Also, this book gave us an amazing privilege: to hear a first-hand account of one of the most breath-taking moments of history.

We saw the events of this book through Mark's life. He has to be our favorite character, but we cannot forget those who guided Mark to become the man he needed to be.

I WANTED to listen to this book in one sitting, but it's healthier to take a few breaks.

I greatly admire the men and women who protect our country; I was one of them. I also love our country, the greatest on earth. It bothers me, though, that all of the world -America included - follows and promotes such a degree of godlessness. We cannot be surprised: Scripture tells us it would be this way. I am just homesick for the life to come when our Christ returns. Until then we can be grateful for the brave, the honest, the productive and the altruistic among us.

Thanks, Mark!

Excellent audiobook, there was alot of accurate details about the raid. It's good to hear it first hand from someone who was actually there rather than from some biased Hollywood screen writer.

Would have been better if Scott Brick or Dick Hill did the reading, but that's a small matter in the grand scheme of things.

First off, the narrator was great. It’s easy to believe his emphasis and intonations are the same as the author would have used himself. The author does create an engaging narrative about his experiences as a Navy Seal that is hard to put down.

The book starts with a teaser introduction to the helicopters arriving at the compound. It then digresses to the training and combat history of the author. Then only the last third of this short book is about the preparations, raid and the aftermath.

Unfortunately, this book does not add too many details about the raid than was already known generally. In the days after the raid I had read a few news articles and watched Obama’s speech on YouTube. But the book doesn’t really add too many details that I did not already know.

The main revelations and surprising nuggets are the details of how Osama’s Corpse was handled by the Seals. This is about the only aspect of the raid the author seems to have no qualms with reveling the shocking details. These details are what I suspect upset the pentagon the most. The only other new information that he provides about the raid is very terse and otherwise there is a distinct lack of details. It is easy to tell that the words where crafted very carefully not to reveal too much. The chapter detailing the encounter with Osama Bin Laden is the shortest in the book at only 6 minutes long.

I don't have time to write as many reviews as I should or would like to but was glad to use precious time for this one. A no BS background of what it is like to be a member of what is probably the most elite special military the US has.It made me proud of how the real life story was told without revealing any critical information that could be used to endanger our intelligence, methods or technology used by special units of military or law enforcement in the fight against terrorism. Coming from more of a law enforcement background I had no problems reading between the lines to glean all the technical information much like Tom Clancy or other good writers have available to both tell a story that needs to be told and the technical how it's is done by the best teams whatever the nation or branch of service might be. I never forget how much our teams Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines or other more covert units we might have. THANK You To All Of THOSE That STAND The WATCH.. SACRIFICE So VERY MUCH And THANKS To THEIR FAMILIES That By SUPPORTING THEM MAKE IT POSSIBLE. THANK YOU ALL

From the beginning to the end I listened to this over and over. I have read thousands of both narrative and technical how to manuals this is truly good on so many levels I both enjoyed and learned so much that I now rate this as a must read, and recommend this to all of my professional friends!

I was able to savor this while I went through my day, driving, shopping or what ever I did for a week or more listening again and again to this unfiltered by a President bs PC spin coming from an appointed official or news source.

No I wanted to dwell in this world as long as I could. LOL much better than a fictional movie or story. My only regret was that it was only a few hours long and would have enjoyed much more.

Yes! The story was quick moving and very engrossing. I enjoyed every second of it. I highly recommend for a very enjoyable read.

A touching story about Gods path for one mans life.

Sacrifices that are made for us each and everyday.

How is wife relentlessly sought after her husband and her unconditional love for him. A Perfect picture of how God relentlessly and unconditionally loves us and will never leave us.

I had read a lot about this book in the news and had conflicting thoughts about reading it. Part of me felt that it wasn't approached properly in regards to getting clearance from the government. It also felt like it was too quick to market and that someone was just trying to make a buck.

Nonetheless, I used one of my credits and ended up thoroughly enjoying the book. It was well narrated and the story had the right combination of detail and story line to keep it moving. It reiterates a lot of the same SEAL training that I have read elsewhere but provides enough of a unique single person context to make it interesting. The portion in regards to the raid is a little difficult to follow but was exciting to listen to. Great narrative of what purportedly went on that night.

Overall well worth the 1 credit.

I'm always blown away by how much the people in the service do for us. They will always have my gratitude and this book nails it. I'm a big fan of Vince Flynn books and this is different because it is non-fictional but absolutely amazing.

The humor and the heartache.

When the protagonist is jumped by his sister in law. Or, when he throws the candle lit birthday cake.

His sister's nostalgic attraction to her former boy friend.

A very good book that pulls you along with plot, humor and pathos.

A very engaging story. I enjoyed learning more about the intricate planning that went into the mission that killed UBL.
