"No Easy Day" by Mark Owen with Kevin Maurer is the first-person account of Bin Laden's execution. For the first time anywhere, a first-person account of the planning and execution of the Bin Laden raid from inside the US Navy SEAL team who carried out the extraordinary mission to kill the terrorist mastermind. "No Easy Day" puts readers inside the elite, handpicked twenty-four-man team known as SEAL Team Six as they train for the most important mission of their lives: the SEALs were going after bin Laden. From the crash of the Black Hawk helicopter that threatened the mission with disaster to the radio call confirming their target was dead, the SEAL team raid on bin Laden's secret HQ is recounted in nail-biting second-by-second detail. In "No Easy Day", team leader Mark Owen takes readers behind enemy lines with one of the world's most astonishing fighting forces, in the only insider's account of their most spectacular mission. Praise for "No Easy Day": ""No Easy Day" amounts to a cinematic account of the raid to kill Bin Laden: you feel as if you're sitting in the Black Hawk as it swoops in". ("NY Times"). "A blistering first-hand account". ("The Sun").
Mark Owen is a former member of the US Naval Special Warfare Development Group, commonly known as SEAL Team Six.

En tøff dag er en bok skrevet av Mark Owen. Den handler om han sitt liv helt fra første intak til spesialstyrkene i Usa. Til når han var med på opprasjonen som drepte Bin Laden.
Owen vokste opp i Alaska med foreldrene sine som ikke akkurat var veldig gira på at han skulle bli med i millitæret.
Boka gir et greit inntrykk om hvordan det er og hvordan de jobber i spesialstyrkene i USA.
