No Hero: The Evolution of a Navy SEAL by Mark Owen

3.0

Over his thirteen years as a Navy SEAL, Mark gained wisdom which helped him better understand himself and his comarades. He has identified numerous qualities a SEAL possesses and has dedicated each chapter in the book on one bullet point.

'How to swim fifty meters underwater without dying' is by far the most immersing chapter in the book. In this chapter, Mark as a young SEAL, has exemplified courage and brilliant presence of mind. This is only the second chapter.

The book leaves a lot to be desired in terms of its ordering of content and the essence is lost somewhere. 'No Hero' is a follow-up to 'No Easy Day', a first hand account of SEAL team six capturing Bin Laden. Having read this book I would hesitate to read Mark's first book.
