"No Easy Day"

No Easy Day by Mark Owen is my favorite book because it influenced my life inside and outside the military. Most people would say “the book is only about killing Osama Bin Laden.” when in fact it describes, in detail, the personal accounts of an ex-navy seals life and missions leading up to the death of the worlds most wanted man. The book not only describes the events that took place on the day Bin Laden was killed but also previous mission and encounters in Mark Owen’s career leading up to this mission. No Easy Day influenced my life because it showed that hard work and determination will always pay off. Within my military career it showed how there are factors that change the course of the mission. For example, in this book the mission was changed when one of the helicopters crashed on the wall of the compound causing a loud commotion, shortening the time to accomplish the mission and eliminating the element of surprise. Being in the military allowed me to relate to this book in different ways then someone who is not in the military, although it relates to me on a non-military level as well. This book describes one of the most infamous people in American history and people around America were affected by the actions of this infamous terrorist. No easy Day by Mark Owen is a great read for not only people who enjoy non-fiction but also people who enjoy military process and how certain objectives are reached within our military. I would definitely suggest this book for many years to come.
