An autobiography by a SEAL. But more than that, this book gives first-hand account of Operation Neptune Spear which killed Osama Bin Laden. Most of the book gives details on the author's journey on SEAL (and related) deployments. How training occurs, how adventurous deployments are, how lucky and unlucky folks some folks are during deployments, how much gear they carry, etc. The write-up is not all that great but the story itself is catchy. However, it gets gripping when the tale of the Operation Neptune Spear starts. Complete with 3D pics and minute by minute account of what each team did on that night in Abbottabad, the book culminates with exactly what it started off with: the essence and necessity of training and experience of all the combat assaults. It is a great service to the public that one of the team members in the Operation decided to write this story (however difficult it might have been to keep it as secretive as possible) otherwise the details would never have been known.
