No Easy Way: A Navy SEAL's Journey of Faith

Fourteen years after No Easy Day made him a #1 New York Times bestseller, and the federal government’s legal target, Matt Bissonnette is writing again. This time, under his own name. And for the first time, narrating his own story.

In Matt’s own words, from the foreword:

“I’ve said it a million times, and I’ll probably say it a million more — I didn’t write No Easy Day to portray myself as some sort of badass operator or to etch my name in the history books. My sole purpose was to give credit to the SEAL team operators and army airmen who carried out the mission that night in Abbottabad.”

No Easy Way is the third memoir from the former SEAL Team Six operator who, writing as Mark Owen in 2012, gave the firsthand account of Operation Neptune Spear. The book that made him famous made him a defendant. What followed was years of civil litigation by the Department of Justice, a $6 million settlement, and a long stretch of public silence.

This audiobook is the story of what happened in that silence, the lawfare, the teammates, the years of waiting, and the decision to step out from behind the pen name. Most of all, the things that carried him through: family, friends, fun, and faith.
