NO EASY DAY

No Easy Day The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama Bin Laden by Mark Owen - The title says it all with this book.  For anyone who still wants to read more about the Navy SEALs after American Sniper, this book is for you.  (My husband and son are of course included in that group).  Although the news media saturated us with details about the mission, it turns out many of those details were drama and speculation.  This author describes the mission in detail from his firsthand perspective, and provides details about how well trained and well prepared our SEALs are to do the tough jobs.  He seems to resent that the president is using the capture of Bin Laden as part of his campaign.  What the author doesn't mention is that if the mission failed and any American lives had been lost, the president would have taken the heat.  I think the decision was as important as the accomplishment in this case. 
 
The blogger people have introduced a "new" and "improved" method for blog posting.  I'm still trying to get used to it, but the biggest change seems to be a worst method for bringing images into the blog.  The picture of this book is a cut and pasted, but the blog won't let me make the image smaller. So now each entry takes a few more clicks and steps to produce.  That's progress!
