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 1960 at the American 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 military sites to a day job of hunting terrorists and rescuing hostages"-- $c Page [4] of cover. 541 $d 20210615. 583 $a cat $b Sampler $c 20210114 $k kdk/cjk. 600 1 $a McRaven, William H $q (William Harry), $d 1955- 600 1 $a Hussein, Saddam, $d 1937-2006 $x Imprisonment. 600 1 $a Bin Laden, Osama, $d 1957-2011 $x Assassination. 610 2 $a U.S. Special Operations Command $x Officials and employees. 610 2 $a Maersk Alabama (Ship.) 610 17 $a United States $b SEALs. $b SEALs. 650 $a Special operations (Military science) $z United States. 650 $a War on Terrorism, 2001-2009 $v Personal narratives. 650 7 $a Search and rescue operations. 650 $a Admirals $z United States. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. 941 $a 3 952 $l AXPF626 $d 20220223010201.0 952 $l PEPC626 $d 20211012010259.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20210630013427.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A02870ECD96811EB9280A5A654ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
