No Easy Day by Mark Owen

No Easy Day by Mark Owen is a fantastic book to read. If you want a book that is action-packed and you are fascinated about the assassination of Bin Laden, then read this book. It gives all the details from the eyes of one marine. 


Mark Owen is the main character of the book. He does talk about the other men who are on each mission with him. Each mission has different men alongside him. Mark starts out by describing what training he went through to get to where he is now. Before he was assigned the mission to assassinate Bin Laden, he had to go through other missions first. Usually each chapter tells about each new mission. 

The book is a timeline from when Mark first begins his training to the killing of Bin Laden. The book even gives you two sections of pictures to better explain and make sure you understand what weapons were used and what tactics were used. This book is high on detail and very good at description. I really liked this book because of the description and that it’s all real. 

If you want to feel like you’re the one that’s on the field right there with Mark, I highly suggest you read this book.

Band of Brothers by Stephen Ambrose

I love reading about WWII. I decided to read this book because I saw the HBO television series, Band of Brothers. It is about the 101st Airborne Division and how they become brothers throughout the war. Each chapter is about a different soldier's story during the war. The book is full of action, including different historical battles and events of WWII. I think other students will enjoy reading this book because it connects you with the characters and makes you care what happens to the soldiers.
