No Easy Day-The only first hand account of the Navy SEAL mission that killed OBL
My brother bought me the E-book written by "Mark Owen".
Its a very enjoyable read and doesnt just focus on the mission that killed OBL but also on their training, other missions and general awesome SEAL stuff.
Probably wont win any literary awards but its a good read.
I enjoyed reading about the attack dogs and gear. The author is a gun nut so you get some nice detail about his service rifles like the H&K 416, etc
Enjoy guys
cheers

read the book and was pretty cool for me since i enjoy reading about spec ops and the like. Read Inside Delta Force, which is pretty cool also.
Also read recently the biography by the guy who got the longest sniper shot in the world atm, a navy seal.
Im hoping to get to read Red Circle sometime soon.

I liked the 65000 USD NVG's :)
I think the guys real name is Mark Bissonette or something like that?

Bought it Sunday afternoon. By lunchtime on Monday it was done. Great read if you are interested in the SEALs or military ops.
Plenty insight into how the key to success is preparation and that even luck depends on how well you prepare.

billy the kid: watched already, actually watched as it was showing. Sadly it got canncelled and now I have to hope they will make something like that again.
There are a few series out there that are pretty good which i will see if can make a list and post. Recently started strikeback which is kind of close'ish.

Read Taskforce Dagger - The hunt for OBL by Robin Moore. A brilliant read and explanation on US response immediatly after 911 by the Green Berets.
