"Captures the essence of Naval Special Warfare from our storied
beginnings to the current fight." --Admiral WILLIAM H. McRAVEN
Written with the unprecedented cooperation of the Naval Special Warfare
community, this vivid and definitive history of the U.S. Navy SEALs
reveals the inside story behind the greatest combat operations of
America's most celebrated warriors. Illustrated with forty pages of
photographs and based on exclusive interviews with more than 100 U.S.
frogmen (including multiple Medal of Honor recipients), here is "the
first comprehensive history of the special operations force"
(Military.com).
New York Times bestselling authors Dick Couch--a former SEAL--and
William Doyle chart the SEALs' story, from their origins in the daring
Naval Combat Demolition Teams, Underwater Demolition Teams, Scouts and
Raiders commando units, and OSS Operational Swimmers of World War II to
their coming of age in Vietnam and rise to glory in Iraq and Afghanistan
after 9/11.
