The Operator Zusammenfassung

The Operator: The Seal Team Operative And The Mission That Changed The World Robert O'Neill

'He is an absolute hero'. Piers Morgan

'A riveting, unvarnished and wholly unforgettable portrait of America's most storied commandos at war.' - Joby Warrick, author of Black Flags: The Rise of ISIS, winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction

A stirringly evocative, thought-provoking, and often jaw-dropping account of SEAL Team Operator Robert O'Neill's awe-inspiring 400-mission career. O'Neill describes his idyllic childhood in Butte, Montana; his impulsive decision to join the SEALs; the arduous evaluation and training process; and the even tougher gauntlet he had to run to join the SEALs' most elite unit.

The Operatordescribes the nonstop action of O'Neill's deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, evoking the black humor of years-long combat, and reveals firsthand details of the most discussed anti-terrorist operation in military history.

The Operator Bewertungen

'Impossible to put down . . . What O'Neill has written is unique, surprising, a kind of counter narrative, and certainly the other half of the story of one of the world's most famous military operations . . . In the larger sense, this book is about how to be alive, and how to be human while in the very same moment dealing with death, destruction, combat.'

-- Doug Stanton, New York Times bestselling author of In Harm's Way and Horse Soldiers
'Intensely moving and awe-inspiring, The Operator captures as few other books have the essence of being a Frogman: utterly unimaginable fatigue followed by intense exhilaration followed by a weary emptiness, and then back for more. As this book shows, SEALs regularly travel to an emotional place that few men will ever visit. O'Neill wrote himself into American history with the three shots he fired into Osama bin Laden, but if you think that operation was intense wait till you read about the ones that preceded it. There is a saying, Great battles are only given to great warriors. Rob was repeatedly given great battles, and he represented accordingly.'



-- Marcus Luttrell, New York Times bestselling co-author of Lone Survivor and Service
'A riveting, unvarnished and wholly unforgettable portrait of America's most storied commandos at war.'

-- Joby Warrick, author of Black Flags: The Rise of ISIS, winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction
