About the Author:
Robert O'Neill was born and raised in Butte, Montana, and lived there for nineteen years until he joined the Navy in 1996. Deploying as a SEAL more than a dozen times, O'Neill participated in more than four-hundred combat missions across four different theaters of war. During his remarkable career, he was decorated more than fifty-two times. Among the honors he received were two Silver Stars, four Bronze Stars with Valor, a Joint Service Commendation Medal with Valor, three Presidential Unit Citations, and a Navy/Marine Corps Commendation with Valor. O'Neill helped cofound Your Grateful Nation, an organization committed to transitioning Special Operations veterans into their next successful career. You can find him at RobertJONeill.com.
Review:
`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 `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 `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
