Helpful Score: 4

Though this book's hype targets the killing of Osama Bin Laden, there is much more to it. The author begins at his beginning (Boot Camp) and carries the reader with him as he progresses and matures in a mentally and physically demanding career that is only survivable by the best of the best.

He also covers the progression of covert warfare from a "Get in/Get the job done/Get out" mindset, to today's politically correct "They have rights, too" methods. This is something I also experienced in my military career; though to a far lesser extent.

Lastly, I found it a little creepy that this real-life experience was paralleling Michael Z. Williamson's SciFi novel, "The Weapon", which I happened to be reading at the same time. Of course, that may just be my twisted mind :o)
