About this listen
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 listeners alongside Owen and the other handpicked members of the 24-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 listeners 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 listenres with a deep understanding of the warriors who keep America safe.
©2012 Mark Owen and Kevin Maurer (P)2012 Penguin AudiobooksCritic Reviews
"This harrowing, minute-by-minute account by one of the highly trained members of Navy SEAL Team Six is narrative nonfiction at its most gripping.... No Easy Deal puts you right there for every tense moment." (Entertainment Weekly)
"Gripping.... There is no better illustration in No Easy Day that SEALs are ruthless pragmatists. They think fast. They adapt to whatever faces them. They do what they have to do." (The New York Times)
"[Mark Owen] has given us a brave retelling of one of the most important events in U.S. military history." (People)

Brilliant
The writer imaginatively captures what it would be like to be in the Special Forces of the United States. It's very well written easy to follow and I would recommend this book to anyone. Our military serving all over the planet protecting our country fighting for their brothers and sisters are a special group of people and I urge everyone to do their part as the writer requests.

Fascinating Story and Perfect Narration
This story was told in a 'Matter of Fact' manner like these guys were going for a jog or pushing out gym set. It's hard to imagine the pressure and anxieties around what they do but it is so impressive that their training allows them to do it almost in their sleep. Great job Mark, Kevin and Holter.

Zero Dark Six
I finished reading this a day after watching zero dark thirty, both based on the events that ended Osama Bin Laden’s reign, unlike zero dark thirty this narrates the raid on Bin Laden’s compound from team sixes squad leader explains the amount of planning and practice went in to the raid if your a gamer modern warfare’s clean house mission the tense feeling of clearing rooms not knowing who is behind each door who is hostile and who are civilians this book from start to finish is tense, thrilling, educational at time’s funny and relatable it ticks all the right boxes and the beat book I’ve read in a long time

Great book
I’m not a huge war/soldier guy but I really enjoyed this book. I’ve read the paper version twice and this is just as good except for a small thing... the paper book included a couple of photos of the equipment used in the missions but it doesn’t detract from the story at all. It should be noted this book details not just the raid on Bin Laden but the authors training to become a Seal and the sacrifices all these great guys make which makes the whole thing even better. I’m not a big fan of overly American oriented stories but this is not like that. Yes they are American but the author is humble and reserved. There’s no “yeah America, we’re number one!” BS moments. Great story of courage and determination.
