For the first time anywhere comes a firsthand account of the planning and execution of the bin Laden raid by 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, from the mountaintops of Afghanistan to the third floor of Osama bin Laden's compound, operator Mark Owen of the US Naval Special Warfare Development Group--better 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 listeners 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 through to the radio call confirming bin Laden's death, is an essential piece of modern history.
