While the draw here is the firsthand account of the 2011 raid that resulted in the death of Osama Bin Laden, I was more interested in the nuts and bolts of daily Navy Seal life - especially the mindset and the details of their private culture. Owen (an alias) has seen and done grim things and doesn‘t sugarcoat his warfighting experiences. While sobering and at times gut-wrenching, I appreciated seeing history through his night vision goggles.
