Event Details
Join Let's Talk About Books, a monthly book club that meets online via Zoom. The meeting is free and open to everyone interested, whether they have read the book or not.
January's title is Sea Stories: My Life in Special Operations by William McRaven. Copies will be available at the desk for checkout one month ahead of the meeting. Also available on the The Palace Project and/or Libby app, as an eBook or audiobook.
Synopsis:
Admiral William H. 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. His story begins in 1963 at a French Officer's 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. The audiobook is an unforgettable look back on one man's incredible life, from childhood days sneaking into high-security nuclear sites to a day job of hunting terrorists and rescuing hostages. - provided by publisher
