Synopsis

From their birth in World War II as combat swimmers clearing the beaches of Normandy to their evolution into fighting men who could operate anywhere in the world by sea, air, or land, the intrepid story of the United States Navy SEALs is one of courage, sacrifice, and world-renowned toughness that echoes of other great military units of history—the Spartans, the Roman legions, or the samurai. Take a look inside to find out what makes the SEALs America's deadliest warriors.

Mann and Burton take the reader through the inception of the Naval Combat Demolition Teams (NCDU) and Underwater Demolition Teams (UDT) during World War II, their testing and development in Korea and into the Vietnam War, where the SEALs truly laid the groundwork for their legendary status, and on into the present day. The authors highlight the major steps and operations along the way, discuss the training and what it takes, and explore some of the most important moments in SEAL history.

While understanding the ne......more

This book is very interesting as it traces the very beginning of the SEALs through to today. It explains in great detail what training is necessary to become a SEAL and the mindset all of them have to be warriors and accomplish their missions. Any book written by those who have "talked the talk and......more

Goodreads review by Ben

I’ve read a ton of SEAL books. The first half of this one was great. Loved that it touched on things back the the WW2 and UDT origins since most SEAL books tend to be more recent. It might have been because I was listening to it as an audiobook rather than reading a physical book but the sections on......more
