NEW YORK, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — For fourteen years, the man who gave the world the first inside account of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden has been a ghost — face disguised, voice altered, name changed. Millions knew him only as “Mark Owen.” That ends now. With No Easy Way: A Navy SEAL’s Journey of Faith, two-time New York Times bestselling author Matt Bissonnette publishes under his own name for the first time — and is ready to sit for interviews as himself.
From bestseller to defendant. In 2012, writing as Mark Owen, Bissonnette delivered No Easy Day, the firsthand account of the 2011 Abbottabad raid, an instant #1 New York Times bestseller. He followed it with No Hero (2014), a #3 bestseller. Fame brought a target: years of DOJ civil litigation and a roughly $6 million settlement.
No Easy Way tells what happened inside that silence — the legal battle, the cost to his family, the teammates from thirteen combat deployments, and the decision to finally step out from behind a pen name. At its center is what carried him through: family, friends, fun and faith.
The first interview of its kind. After more than a decade off camera, Bissonnette is now available to select outlets and podcasts to discuss the mission, the lawsuit that nearly erased him, and his journey of faith. He brings rare range — national security, SEAL Team Six, military ethics, high-stakes litigation, and personal redemption — and also executive produced CBS’s SEAL Team.
In his words: “For years, the smartest move was to stay in the shadows… but that wasn’t God’s plan for me. It’s time for me to share this story.” — Matt Bissonnette
