Mark Owen a former member of the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group, commonly known as SEAL Team Six. In his many years as a Navy SEAL, he has participated in hundreds of missions around the globe, including the rescue of Captain Richard Phillips in the Indian Ocean in 2009. Owen was a team leader on Operation Neptune Spear in Abbottabad, Pakistan, on May 1, 2011, which resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden. Owen was one of the first men through the door on the third floor of the terrorist mastermind’s hideout, where he witnessed Bin Laden’s death. Mark Owen’s name and the names of the other SEALs mentioned in No Easy Day have been changed for their security.
Kevin Maurer has covered special operations forces for nine years. He has been embedded with the Special Forces in Afghanistan six times, spent a month in 2006 with special operations units in east Africa, and has embedded with U.S. forces in Iraq and Haiti.

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 readers alongside Owen and the other handpicked members of the twenty-four-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 readers 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 readers with a deep understanding of the warriors who keep America safe.
这是一本类似战地日记的书。作者是海豹突击队的一线战斗人员,并非高级指挥官,所以较少有从战略高度分析这一行动决定的内容,大部分篇幅讲述的是前线战士在刺杀本拉登的行动前的训练、部署、演练直至完成行动的过程。书内包含很多行动细节,如行动队人员配置、使用的武器装备...
评分如果你以为这本书惊险刺激、一捧起就难以放下,那恐怕就要失望了。 这名前海豹突击队员的文笔不敢恭维,整本书更像是一本流水帐,记录了作者从加入海豹六队开始到最后参与猎杀本拉登的经历,期间也经历数次行动。在对这些行动的描写中,感觉叙事的水平基本和初中生相当,平淡无...
评分轻松之日,唯有昨日——海豹突击队座右铭 简单的8个字作为开篇,直接道出本书主标题之意。过去永比现在轻松得多。那是因为海豹突击队队员总是与“死神”打交道。 本书行文结构类似于一部好莱坞大片,主人公开始准备执行自己一生中最后一次任务,突然发生意外……主人公开始回忆...
评分本书的作者是海豹突击队的一员,也是执行击毙本拉登任务的执行队长。文中的序以911事件为开头,之后,画面直接转移到执行任务的黑鹰直升机上,但是也随之在这里本书的序也结束了。 第一二章,从作者预备加入海豹突击队的训练开始写起。从作者的训练可以看出每一个加入海豹突击...
评分作者叙述得很简单,没有什么过分夸张的渲染和描写。或许就像作者自己所言,只是简单地写下真实情况,记录下这段和兄弟们的共同记忆。不过任务本身以及他们的行动过程足够具有吸引力,所以并不平淡。 虽然不是人物传记,但从字里行间的兄弟情谊里,我们还是能很轻松...
orz又一晚上浪费掉了我究竟在干啥
评分第一人称叙述,大量口语用语,选择有声书是正确的,不过原书有插图,我打算对照着重看一遍相关内容。猎杀UBL行动的细节,几乎可以跟Zero Dark Thirty对照——而且确实有不同之处。最后,跟Lone Survivor一样,与其说扯什么这是突击队文化,不如说:它其实是个叫人心情沉重的故事。(另:0D30里他们带去行动的德牧,名字应该就是Cairo了。)
评分美国版的“谁是最可爱的人”
评分与我之前读过的海豹突击队员回忆录相比,并未有什么太突出地方,只是作者并没有故弄玄虚。精彩部分的确已经被媒体全曝光了,至于书中提及的其他任务么,还是真实不如好莱坞
评分完全出于对海豹突击队的好奇而读的书
