Bin Laden killer says he's not a hero in his life story

By Associated Press | China Daily | Updated: 2014-11-26 06:44

Mark Owen, a pseudonym for former US Navy SEAL team member Matt Bissonnette, caused a stir with No Easy Day, his firsthand account of a mission in Pakistan in 2011 that resulted in Osama bin Laden's death. Owen didn't get the book cleared by the Defense Department before publication.

In his follow-up, No Hero: The Evolution of a Navy SEAL, Owen goes through the proper channels, detailing his journey as a member of SEAL Team Six (minus the Osama bin Laden mission). A few sections of the book were redacted.

Owen reveals few details about his life before and after the military. He skims over his childhood: He's the son of missionaries, grew up in a remote village in Alaska, loved to hunt, bought his first assault rifle from a history teacher and always dreamed of becoming a SEAL.
