I've read a lot of the reviews for this book and most of them are not actually reviews but just opinions on the author's motives. Just about every poor review that is on this site does not actually mention having read the book, but just bashes the author. I've read the book. He claims that no classified information was used. He claims only unclassified and already made public information was used. So all those reviews that criticize him for divulging information are clearly wrong and written by people who are reacting without all the facts. If he put classified information in that book, I'm sure he'll experience the full wrath of the Obama and Holder Department of Justice. I see no dishonor in this account. There are a lot of people who have retired from the military after having fought in battles overseas and have written their memoirs. There is nothing wrong with that. I'm tired of the military top brass and the president's administration using these events to propagandize; we do not get the truth from the government, no matter whose administration it is. Remember Jessica Lynch? We did not get the truth about her capture or rescue from the government. The best account is from guys like this one. This is a great book, well written and with lots of personal details that make this guy seem real and human. We tend to view Navy SEALS as superhuman superheroes and don't really give them credit for the real difficulty and physical sacrifice they make. Great job!Read full review
Just started reading the book, but I purchased it based on a recent rerun of a fascinating and gripping *60 Minutes* interview of Navy Seal Mark Owens who participated in the mission that killed Osama Bin Laden . The book that I purchase was "used" but in great condition, and the price and shipping charge for the book was .phenomenal !!

I thought this book was well written and covered not only the mission, but the events/training that led up to it. In my opinion, this mission ended one of, if not the biggest man-hunt in history. I still remember trying to find a parking lot at my university when I heard the news of the tower attacks. I believe that most people, like many other huge moments in history, can remember where they were when 911 occurred. As an American (not that it matters), it did give me some sort of closure to read this book. Though there was a small select group involved in the mission, there were millions of fingers squeezing that trigger. A big thank you to all military personnel that protect us and others around the world.
Great book. Bin Laden is killed. If you are proud to a American this book will just prove how our Navy SEALs protect us even more. The training these men go through before each mission. Unbelievable. A must read book and if you have not read Fearless please pick up n read. SEAL Adam Brown story.

Good interesting read. I definitely recommend it. The author was pretty specific, which was nice. If you're interested in Special Forces, SEALs, or whatever, this is the book for you!
