Best Selling Books by MARK OWEN

Un día difícil es el relato en primera persona de la operación que condujo a la muerte de Osama bin Laden. Un testimonio que difiere en muchos aspectos del que dio al público el gobierno de los Estados Unidos; por el que el autor está amenazado de un proceso por revelación de secretos, y que le ha convertido en el objetivo más buscado por el terrorismo islámico. La narración de esta aventura real resulta fascinante, pero hay mucho más en estas memorias del miembro del SEAL Team Six que se esconde tras el nombre de Mark Owen: hay toda la vida de un hombre que, después de dejar su tranquilo medio familiar en Alaska, emprendió la dura tarea de formación necesaria para integrarse en la más arriesgada de las fuerzas especiales, lo que le llevó a participar en operaciones memorables, como el rescate del capitán Phillips, capturado por los piratas de Somalia, y en muchas otras que nunca llegaron al conocimiento del público. Resulta, además, un anticipo de lo que van a ser las formas de guerra en un futuro inmediato.

How does one engage in the study of strategy? Strategy: Context and Adaptation from Archidamus to Airpower argues that strategy is not just concerned with amassing knowledge; it is also about recognizing our imperfect understanding of the environment and respecting the complex nature of adaptation to the unforeseen or unexpected. In essence, the strongest strategists are those who commit to an education that cultivates a more holistic and adaptive way of thinking. With that thought in mind, the contributors to Strategy, each a current or former professor at the School of Advanced Air and Space Studies, widely considered the Department of Defense''s premier school of strategy, offer ways of thinking strategically about a variety of subject matters, from classical history to cyber power. Practitioners in the profession of arms, perhaps more than any other profession, must employ critical thinking where the application of power on land, at sea, in the air, and in space and cyberspace are concerned. Strategy examines various sub-disciplines regarding the use of power, and illuminates different approaches to thinking which have implications beyond the implementation of force.

Mark Owens veel geroemde Geen makkelijke dag, over de door hem geleide missie die de wereld verloste van Osama bin Laden, was een onmiddellijke bestseller. Maar in de dertien jaar dat Mark Owen leiding gaf aan seal Team Six, nam hij deel aan veel meer en veel grotere missies die ook van grote invloed waren op de wereldgeschiedenis. Niet alle missies waren even succesvol, maar zowel de successen als de mislukkingen dragen volgens Owen bij aan de perfect geoliede machine van de Seals, het elitekorps dat leeft bij het motto: ‘De enige makkelijke dag was gisteren.’ Al deze missies en ervaringen beschrijft Owen – op de openhartige manier die we van hem kennen – in dit nieuwe, spannende boek.

For the first time anywhere, the first-person account of the planning and execution of the Bin Laden raid from a Navy Seal who confronted the terrorist mastermind and witnessed his final moments.

"Harmony... is a most wonderful thing. Within harmony everything has balance. Good and evil, joy and sadness are all in tune and perfectly aligned. Yet harmony is difficult to achieve in a world of constant change"."Love and Other Poems", is a collection of poems by British born poet, Mark Williams. This is Mark''s fourth collection of published works and his first to explore poetry within a classical Japanese context. Having a modern, philosophical feel, each poem is accompanied by an explanation, as well as both English and Kanji translations. Yet, while having the elements of classical Japanese styling, Mark''s poems are still very approachable and easy to relate to, covering a wide range of issues placed into three broad categories - wisdom, love, and life. Within each category is a plethora of ideas and concepts, some full of joy, others, torrid despair. These poems will touch and guide you on a pathway, a pathway perhaps to... harmony itself.

David and Robert grew up thinking that Calvandrian was a land of fairy tales. Neither of them knew that Robert was the heir to the throne, living in exile, on Earth. When thirteen-year-old Robert was abducted from his home on earth, his parents couldn''t tell anyone who the real abductors were. They knew it was the work of Varlusk, the man that had betrayed the king and taken over Calvandrian. Four years later, when the beasts, sent by Varlusk, returned for the now thirteen-year-old David, he couldn''t leave his father to fight them alone. During the fight, he ascended to the throne of Calvandrian. Now, with the possibility of his brother being dead, he has to return to Calvandrian in order to try to win back the throne. Robert struggles with his identity under the mind control of Varlusk, and when his family shows up, in Calvandrian, he doesn''t know what to believe. David struggles as he comes to grips with being the King and is the last hope of a struggling kingdom.

« Cela faisait huit ans que je traquais Ben Laden et les leaders d’Al Qaida. Et là, j’étais à quelques minutes de sauter de l’hélicoptère pour atterrir dans la cour de sa résidence surveillée. J’ai attrapé le filin relié au fuselage du Faucon Noir. Le sniper à côté de moi s’est posté, une jambe dans l’hélico, une dehors pour dégager de la place dans l’habitacle. Avec son arme il scannait les cibles dans la résidence. Il devait couvrir le côté sud pendant que l’équipe d’assaut se glissait dans la cour du bâtiment principal avant de se séparer, chacun allant accomplir la tâche qui lui était impartie. La veille seulement, aucun de nous pensait que Washington donnerait le feu vert pour cette mission. » Lorsque Mark Owen survole Abbottabad en hélicoptère en ce 2 mai 2011, il sait que cette mission sera la bonne. La cible : nom de code « Geronimo ». Alias Oussama Ben Laden, recherché par toutes les polices depuis les attentats du 11 septembre 2001. Engagé dans les Navy SEAL en 2004, Mark Owen a sillonné les sentiers des montagnes du Pakistan, les côtes de Somalie, les rues et villages d’Irak et d’Afghanistan à la poursuite des Talibans. Toutes ces missions préparaient la dernière. Celle qu’il a menée. Celle où il a assisté en direct à la mort du leader d’Al-Qaida. Traduit de l’américain par Olivier Dow et Paule Lescar.
