McRaven’s narrative is pretty straightforward but heavy on anecdotes, covering his childhood, his experience as a SEAL, and his various command experiences. His special operations career takes up the majority of the book. McRaven does, of course, provide firsthand accounts of the capture of Saddam, the rescue of Richard Phillips, and the bin Laden mission; these are probably the most gripping parts of the book.
