About No Hero: The Evolution Of A Navy Seal
Product Description The companion volume to the multimillion-copy bestseller No Easy Day by former Navy SEAL Mark Owen reveals the evolution of a SEAL Team Six operator. Mark Owen’s instant #1 New York Times bestseller, No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission that Killed Osama bin Laden, focused on the high-profile targets and headline-grabbing chapters of the author’s thirteen years as a Navy SEAL. His follow-up, No Hero, is an account of Owen’s most personally meaningful missions, missions that never made headlines, including the moments in which he learned the most about himself and his teammates in both success and failure. Featuring stories from the training ground to the battlefield, No Hero offers readers a never-before-seen close-up view of the experiences and values that make Mark Owen and the SEALs he served with capable of executing the missions that make history. Review “Owen emphasizes the selflessness and service of his fellow SEALs, along with the lessons he learned, in a book that is sure to appeal to the many fans of in-the-trenches special forces memoirs.”— Publishers Weekly“Simple, well-told stories that will interest general readers and certainly anyone contemplating a career in special operations.”— Kirkus Reviews “Owen's writing is genuine and insightful.... No Hero may have been intended for the next generation of SEALs, but the book's lessons can also be useful to civilians.”—Associated Press Praise for No Easy Day “This harrowing, minute-by-minute account by one of the highly trained members of Navy SEAL Team Six is narrative nonfiction at its most gripping.... No Easy Day puts you right there for every tense moment.”— Entertainment Weekly “Gripping....There is no better illustration in No Easy Day that SEALs are ruthless pragmatists. They think fast. They adapt to whatever faces them. They do what they have to do.”— The New York Times “[Mark Owen] has given us a brave retelling of one of the most important events in U.S. military history.”— People “Make no mistake: No Easy Day is an important historic document.”— Los Angeles Times “A remarkably intimate glimpse into what motivates men striving to join an elite fighting force like the SEALS—and what keeps them there.”—Associated Press About the Author MARK OWEN, author of No Easy Day and No Hero, is a former member of the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group, commonly known as SEAL Team Six.
