Just finished this book written by Mark Owen (not real name), a Seal Team Six member who was second in the room when Usama Bin Ladin UBL was finally taken out (yes, I realize it has several spellings). The book gives a good deal of insight into the sacrifices the guys make to be a Seal and gave me a new appreciation of what they do. According to him at least it also tells the accurate story of swooping in and taking UBL out. Not a lot of puffery and it feels real.

Hillary Clinton's book got such a lot of publicity from the broadcasters but I have not really seen anything about this excellent book.

Read it - tell some folks about it; that is what I am doing.

PS - did not know that the whole concept for the Seals came after the failed hostage rescue during Jimmy Carter's presidency. After that the military realized they needed something else and had Richard Marchinko develop the program.
