À propos de cet audio

Following the success of his number one New York Times best seller Make Your Bed, which has sold more than one million copies, Admiral William H. McRaven is back with amazing stories of bravery and heroism 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 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 nuclear 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 best-selling book Make Your Bed, Sea Stories is a remarkable memoir from one of America's most accomplished leaders.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"McRaven...has taken the genesis of what he learned during SEAL training and his nearly four decades in Navy Special Operations into a thin, powerful book." (USA Today)

"Engaging...Sea Stories is more than an autobiography, more than a narrative of recent military history, and more than the sum of one remarkable man's experiences. In his excellently flowing prose...McRaven not only allows readers the opportunity to vicariously experience daring adventures and the command of elite warriors heading into harm's way, he also shares practical everyday wisdom." (Booklist, starred review)

"Sea Stories, a well-written book that reads like a thriller, covers some of the most important historical actions taken by Navy SEALs and other special operators." (The Washington Times)

William H. McRaven is such an interesting person and being able to listen to his first-hand insight into such impactful world events is a truly unique and captivating experience. This will be one audio book I’ll be listening to again and more than likely again after that in the future. I’d highly recommend this book to anyone.

Excellent!

Thoroughly enjoyable with a number of inspiring stories and insights. Very well written and narrated by the good Admiral. The stories are written in a very accessible way and doesn’t require any kind of military background to fully appreciate them. The book gives us a glimpse to a life of incredible experiences and some behind the scenes understanding of some very significant events of the last two decades. The author’s passion and admiration for the remarkable people he has encountered along the way really comes through. I really like the way he gives a voice to so many that would not normally have the opportunity. I found many of the author’s insights and messages really resonated with me. I learned a lot reading and listening to this book.

A must read and listen!

The Admiral has seen and done it all. a great listen. Obviously there are many issues he could not write about for operational security, would have liked a deeper insight into those.

Well read bio by an intelligent, brave leader.

What an incredible man. He could write 10 books I imagine. I’m glad I got the audible and I will buy the paper copy as this deserves to be in any collection so that it can be reread

Amazing

I watched W H McRaven on Morning Joe a while back, when he announced his book. I liked his voice, felt he would tell a story that would probably mean something, I was right. Any young woman or man, that could see their life mean something should hear his stories. Any old ones who listen , will probably smile a bit, perhaps cry a little and most assuredly bow their head and give thanks to those that serve, I do!

A Good Story
