Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Mark Owen's instant bestseller, No Easy Day, focused on the high-profile targets and headline-grabbing chapters of the author's 13 years as a Navy SEAL. His follow-up, No Hero, offers a rare counterpoint: an intimate account of Owen's most personally meaningful missions, missions that never made headlines, including the moments in which he learned the most about himself and his teammates in both success and failure. Owen offers readers a close up view of the experiences and values that make Mark Owen and the SEALs he served with so capable.
