Sea Stories
About the book
Following the success of his #1 New York Times bestseller Make Your Bed, Admiral William H. McRaven is back with amazing stories of bravery and heroism during his career as a Navy SEAL and commander of America's Special Operations Forces.
"Fascinating ... McRaven's war stories deliver remarkable insight into the life of a wartime leader." ―Publishers Weekly
Admiral William H. McRaven is a part of American military history, having been involved in some of the most famous missions in recent memory, including the capture of Saddam Hussein, the rescue of Captain Richard Phillips, and the raid to kill Osama bin Laden.
Sea Stories begins in 1963 at a French Officers' Club in France, where Allied officers and their wives gathered to have drinks and tell stories about their adventures during World War II-the place where a young Bill McRaven learned the value of a good story. Sea Stories is an unforgettable look back on one man's incredible life, from childhood days sneaking into high-security military sites to a day job of hunting terrorists and rescuing hostages.
Action-packed, humorous, and full of valuable life lessons like those exemplified in McRaven's bestselling Make Your Bed, Sea Stories is a remarkable memoir from one of America's most accomplished leaders.
Our take
From childhood adventures to some of the most high-stakes military missions in recent history, Sea Stories traces Admiral William H. McRaven’s path through life in special operations with plenty of action, humor, and hard-earned perspective. Drawing on experiences from Navy SEAL training to leadership in major operations, this memoir looks at courage, discipline, and what it takes to lead under pressure. It is an engaging pick for readers who like military nonfiction with strong storytelling and a clear sense that the truth is already wild enough.
