**The New York Times bestselling book that takes you inside SEAL Team
Six - the covert squad that killed Osama Bin Laden
**
In this dramatic, behind-the-scenes chronicle, Howard E. Wasdin takes
readers deep inside the world of Navy SEALS and Special Forces snipers,
beginning with the grueling selection process of Basic Underwater
Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S)--the toughest and longest military training in
the world. After graduating, Wasdin saw combat in Operation Desert Storm
as a member of SEAL Team Two. Then the Green Course: the selection
process to join the legendary SEAL Team Six--a secret unit tasked with
counterterrorism, hostage rescue, and counterinsurgency. As a member of
Team Six, sniper school followed and Wasdin became one of the best
snipers on the planet.
Soon he was fighting for his life. The mission: capture or kill Somalian
warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid. From rooftops, helicopters, and alleys,
Wasdin hunted Aidid and killed his men whenever possible. But everything
went quickly to hell. The Battle of Mogadishu, as it become known, left
eighteen American soldiers dead and seventy-three wounded. Wasdin's tale
is one of the most thrilling and inspiring military memoirs in years.
