Very good account of the training and the missions that led up to the mission that killed bin Laden. Don't expect ,as I did, that the book deals with the sole mission that ended bin Laden's life. That mission comes at the end of the book, but the missions and background information on SEAL training makes for a very informative and interesting read. If you saw the movie Zero Dark Thirty and are expecting the movie and book to be parallel you will be disappointed. Whereas the movie focuses on the decade hunt for bin Laden this book focuses on the author and his rise thru the ranks of the SEALS. Do yourself a favor and grab this book you won't be disappointed.

A candid account of life in the Navy Seals. I enjoy these books by servicemen who aren't authors and don't pretty up their books. I like the honesty and bad grammar because it's like having a conversation with that person. Rob did a great job relaying struggles, cockiness, training, and camaraderie with his time in the SEALS and missions he participated and led. Great read
