"No Easy Day" is a memoir written by Matt Bissonnette, a former member of the United States Navy SEALs, with the assistance of journalist Kevin Maurer. The book recounts Bissonnette's firsthand account of the mission to kill Osama bin Laden in 2011, as well as his experiences as a SEAL during his time in the military. The book details the rigorous training and preparation that SEALs undergo, as well as the high-risk missions they undertake in defense of their country. Bissonnette also discusses the challenges of balancing his duties as a SEAL with his personal life and relationships. The book was highly controversial upon its release, as it was the first public account of the bin Laden raid and included classified information that was not authorized for release by the U.S. government. Despite the controversy, "No Easy Day" has been praised for its detailed and compelling portrayal of life as a Navy SEAL and for its unique perspective on one of the most significant military operations in recent history.
