The Inside Story of America's Ultimate Warriors
When Osama bin Laden was assassinated, the entire world was fascinated
by the men who had completed the seemingly impossible mission that had
dogged the U.S. government for over a decade. SEAL Team 6 became
synonymous with heroism, duty, and justice. Only a handful of the elite
men who make up the SEALs, the US Navy's best and bravest, survive the
legendary and grueling selection process that leads to becoming a member
of Team 6, a group so classified it technically does not even exist.
There are no better warriors on Earth.
Don Mann knows what it takes to be a brother in this ultra-selective
fraternity. As a member of Seal Team Six for over eight years and a SEAL
for over seventeen years, he worked in countless covert operations,
operating from land, sea, and air, and facing shootings, decapitations,
and stabbings. He was captured by the enemy and lived to tell the tale,
and he participated in highly classified missions all over the globe,
including Somalia, Panama, El Salvador, Colombia, Afghanistan, and
Iraq. As a coordinator for several civilian SEAL training programs, and
as a former Training Officer of SEAL Team Six, he was directly
responsible for shaping the bodies and minds of SEALs who carried out
the assassination of Osama bin Laden.
But to become a SEAL, Mann had to overcome his own troubled childhood
and push his body to its breaking point -- and beyond. Inside Seal Team
6 is a high octane narrative of physical and mental toughness, giving
unprecedented insight to the inner workings of the training and secret
missions of the world's most respected and feared combat unit.
