»Ich habe Osama bin Laden getötet!« Abbottabad, Pakistan. Es ist der 2. Mai 2011. Zehn Jahre nach 9/11. Ein bewaffneter Navy SEAL stürmt in das Zimmer. Er hat den al-Qaida-Anführer direkt im Visier, zielt auf seinen Kopf. Dann drückt er ab. Robert O’Neill ist der Mann, der Amerikas Staatsfeind Nr. 1 getötet hat. In seiner Autobiografie beschreibt er detailliert, wie seine Kameraden und er vorgegangen sind und wie die letzten Sekunden im Leben des Terroristenführers aussahen. 16 Jahre lang hat er für sein Vaterland gekämpft. Die lange Ausbildung und das harte Training haben ihn geformt. Eindrücklich erzählt er, wie es sich anfühlt, einen Kameraden nach dem anderen zu verlieren und sich nie sicher zu sein, ob man Frau und Kinder jemals wieder sehen wird. Der Operator ist das Zeugnis eines außergewöhnlichen Menschen und gewährt einen faszinierenden Einblick in eine Mission, die einen der wichtigsten Siege im Kampf gegen den islamistischen Terrorismus markiert.

Ex-Navy-Seal Robert O’Neill wurde bekannt als der Mann, der Osama bin Laden tötete. Ex-Marine Dakota Meyer bekam zu Lebzeiten die Medal of Honor verliehen. In The Way Forward erzählen sie von ihren höchst riskanten Einsätzen in Afghanistan und im Irak – und vermitteln tiefe Einblicke in ihr unerschütterliches Mindset, das ihnen half, in Sekundenschnelle die richtigen Entscheidungen zu treffen, wenn es um Leben und Tod ging. Auf zutiefst inspirierende Weise verraten die beiden US-Elitesoldaten, welche mentalen Strategien sie auch nach ihrer Dienstzeit anwandten, um kritische Situationen zu überstehen und persönliche Krisen zu bewältigen. The Way Forward ist ein spannendes und aufrichtiges Militärmemoir, das zugleich offenbart, wie wir uns unseren inneren Dämonen und Ängsten stellen können und mit welchen Routinen wir alle Herausforderungen im Leben meistern.

The proven success of Kernel Lessons Intermediate (Robert O'Neill, Roy Kingsbury, Tony Yeadon, Longman/Eurocentre 1971) has shown the need for further and more demanding language practice for older and adult students. Kernel Lessons Plus contains a further 15 units, of 8 pages each, which retain the successful features of the earlier course, but cover very different areas of interest, such as crime and punishment, inflation, the Third World, and industrial progress. A small group of central characters - a manager, a journalist and a secretary recurs in each unit and it is their experiences which provide the setting for most of the language work in this course. Students starting to use Kernel Lessons Plus will have mastered the basic patterns and structures of English. This new course takes them from that point through the work needed for the Lower Certificate, and prepares them for more advanced studies. Kernel Lessons Plus comprises tapes, both for language practice (including intensive listening and comprehension), work, tests, and a Teacher's Book.

O'Neill describes his idyllic childhood in Butte, Montana; his impulsive decision to join the SEALs; the arduous evaluation and training process; and the even tougher gauntlet he had to run to join the SEALs' most elite unit. The Operatordescribes the nonstop action of O'Neill's deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, evoking the black humor of years-long combat, and reveals firsthand details of the most discussed anti-terrorist operation in military history.

Jeho strhující memoáry, psané místy až s brutální upřímností a doprovázené osobitým černočerným humorem, vás zavedou nejen do první frontové linie či týlu nepřítele, ale seznámíte se také s jeho životní filosofií a tím, co Roberta formovalo jako člověka.
