About this audiobook

In this instant New York Times bestseller, the celebrated author of Make Your Bed shares amazing adventure stories from his career as a Navy SEAL and commander of America's Special Operations Forces.
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 1960 at the American 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.

Ratings and reviews

I'm unsure if I have ever enjoyed a book more! I didn't want it to end! Beginning AWHM's HERO CODE momentarily!

Fantastic, I couldn't wait to get back into my car each day to listen to this audio book. I'm glad the author read the book, it made it even more authentic.

Should be required reading in schools!
