Peter Bergen, CNN's man on terror and author of Manhunt: The Ten-Year Search for Bin Laden from 9/11 to Abbottabad, reviews pseudonymous SEAL Mark Owen's No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama Bin Laden and Richard Miniter's "Leading from Behind: The Reluctant President and the Advisors Who Decide for Him."
