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. He is the author of four books, including several about special operations.
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.
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...
评分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...
评分能被选为刺杀本拉登的队员,真正算得上是精英中的精英。通过本书第一人称的描写,可以切身感受海豹突击队不愧为地面小股特种作战部队食物链上的顶层,真正能做到以一敌百。对于任何一支地面部队,遭遇海豹突击队绝对是一个噩梦。训练有素,配合默契,战术意识强悍、射击准确,...

评分在《Zero Dark Thirty》和《SEAL Team 6》电影已经上映的2013年,《No Easy Day》在已经看过这两部猎杀UBL主题电影的观众看来并没有多少可观。但作为在行动之后时隔仅一年的2012年9月出版的作品,这本书在当时吸引眼球的水平可谓一时无两。 书中结构大约分为两部分:1-8章主要...
orz又一晚上浪费掉了我究竟在干啥
评分"Everything is fade." "I bet you voted for change too,sucker."
评分的确有军人写东西的感觉,一个tough guy的形象跃然纸上,美军战斗力从何而来也可见一斑,带着一种奇怪的愧疚感说他们其实渴望战斗,很真诚。Mark是个英雄式的人物,坚忍坚定低调,不时流露出对政治政客的不屑。还惊叹CIA情报能力之强,蛛丝马迹中定位到本拉登藏身处,任务成功后在角落啜泣的年轻女探员,电影既视感十足。本拉登在最后时刻没有丝毫反抗的意思,探头被打死,可能自知跑不了了吧。"There is no honor in sending people to die for something you won't even fight for yourself." 最后去白宫见奥巴马,军方特意安排他们坐鹰爪行动里的旧直升机,挺感慨的。
评分美国亚马逊排第一的书。排行榜不可信!真心一般般!
