This book was just an okay, average read. I was hoping for something surprising or enlightening but mainly get I got a re-hash from the news with some other personal stories leading up to those events. Most of this memoir is minutiae unfortunately, and the Osama Bin Laden story is not particularly revolutionary, radical, or even revealing. It was a decent read about Navy Seals and how they work together and informative enough for anyone needing an introduction to these historical events.

Executa bem os objectivos de storytelling a que se propõe. Uma história que pretende desmistificar a captura e assassino do Bin Laden (narrativa plausível mas pouco rica em detalhe) mas mantém-se dentro da lógica ocidente(EUA)-bom e árabe-mau. Endeusamento da figura do SEAL através de uma narrativa colectivizada, uso frequente do 'we' apesar do enfoque na experiência pessoal, narrator não-omnisciente e até com algumas dificuldades de leitura do outro (não no caso dos seus irmãos) mas contudo pretende falar por toda uma classe. Momentos engraçados de uma certa descrição distanciada da performatividade da masculina excessiva.

A heroic first hand account of one of the greatest military accomplishments of the 21st century. Even 13 years after the events of Operation Neptune Spear, this book still inspires Americans to stand up for what’s right, fight the good fight, and do what must be done to free the oppressed. This book should be mandatory reading for anyone interested in learning about the Navy SEALs. 

I also thought what the author said about Vice President Biden back in 2011/2012 was funny… and still partially rings true today.
