Customer Reviews

To coin a cliche, I couldn’t put it down.

This book was far better than I hoped! I have read several military memoirs, and they tend to be so filled with bravado and gratuitous swearing that there’s little substance in what’s left. This book tells about a significant event in our nation’s history in a very straightforward way without embellishment. I found the illustrations especially helpful in understanding what happened during the raid that eliminates Osama bin Laden. Well done!
