Synopsis

A brilliant virtuoso of violence, Richard Marcinko rose through Navy ranks to create and command one of this country's most elite and classified counterterrorist units, SEAL TEAM SIX. Now this thirty-year veteran recounts the secret missions and Special Warfare madness of his worldwide military career—and the riveting truth about the top-secret Navy SEALs.

Marcinko was almost inhumanly tough, and proved it on hair-raising missions across Vietnam and a war-torn world: blowing up supply junks, charging through minefields, jumping at 19,000 feet with a chute that wouldn't open, fighting hand-to-hand in a hellhole jungle. For the Pentagon, he organized the Navy's first counterterrorist unit: the legendary SEAL TEAM SIX, which went on classified missions from Central America to the Middle East, the North Sea, Africa and beyond.

Then Marcinko was tapped to create Red Cell, a dirty-dozen team of the military's most accomplished and decorated counterterrorists. Their unbelievable job was to test the defenses of the Navy's most secure facilities and installations. The result was predictable: all hell broke loose.

Here is the hero who saw beyond the blood to ultimate justice—and the decorated warrior who became such a maverick that the Navy brass wanted his head on a pole, and for a time, got it. Richard Marcinko—ROGUE WARRIOR.

Goodreads review by Marci on January 18, 2016

Once again, loose morals, awful language, but intriguing story. Sometimes the author's bravado gets on your nerves, and sometimes you think it would take that kind of bravado and extreme self confidence to be able to accomplish the things he writes about. Some passages that I marked: "It is like this......more

Women's lib, equal opportunities and all that plays a part in trying to push good old Harry Callahan out of the SFPD in the mid 1970s, when badge #2211 is assigned a female partner and told that he is a dinosaur, an undesirable with questionable methods for solid results. Putting hoods out of busine......more

Goodreads review by Bradhernandez on September 24, 2023

Half crazed, Demo Dick turns his real world SEAL experience into the lukewarm spy-thriller-action genre (circa 1980). Very much in the spirit of the original 'rogue warrior', this yarn seems like a testosterone fueled ego booster with a few added plot points. The original SEAL with a book DEAL. "Doo......more

Goodreads review by Mark on October 13, 2022

Like his other books, good rousing adventures. This one, about smuggling nuclear parts into Japan. Patriots Seals fighting foreign enemies, some all-out traitors, and bureaucrats. Fun, sometimes coarse, narrative storytelling narrated by the author. Good, but rough around the edges, characters. He d......more
