No Easy Day

Having read a handful of books written by, or about special operators, this book was recommended for specific reasons. Namely, the author's humility.

With clean writing and well crafted detail, this book delivered on the promises I had heard. Rumor and speculation surrounding the operation conducted to kill or capture Osama bin Laden (UBL) have plagued American society. This account provides back story, relevant context, and a bit of human interest while avoiding the self aggrandizement seen elsewhere.

The introduction, proclaiming a tireless emphasis on security and intelligence-based content adjustment, was the best foot to put forward. Those promises seemed to have been kept. The epilogue, calling Americans everywhere to donate time and/or funding to wounded warrior programs and groups, earned even more respect. As a wounded warrior myself, this touched me.
