Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Since the US Navy SEALs came into existence, they have become famous for their daring missions, advanced and unconventional tactics, hard training and hard-fought successes. SEALs have taken part in numerous conflicts ranging from Grenada in 1983, the invasion of Panama and operations in Somalia, Bosnia, Haiti, and Liberia. Most recently, SEAL units have participated in the ongoing missions of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq. This book focuses primarily on modern combat operations between 1983 and 2006, as Mir Bahmanyar and Chris Osman examine various combat operations, the SEALs’ intense training regimes, and the development of tactics and weapons. It includes first-hand accounts from SEALs on the ground - including revealing accounts from those currently involved in operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. This is an eye-opening insight into the shadowy world of the SEALs.

The authors interviewed dozens of active-duty and retired SEALs and seemingly had acess to the digital cameras they carried with them in combat. This is a visually stunning, riveting operational history of the U.S. Navy SEALs. It's the best book on the topic I've yet seen.

Bwaaaahhaaaahahaaaaa! U.S. Navy SEALs founded May 1, 1983? Whoever wrote the product description needs to check their facts before publishing that garbage! The SEALs were founded Jan. 1, 1962! Now DEVGRU (SEAL Team Six) was founded in October 1980 as a result of some of our failings dealing with terrorism in the 1970's. But either way the product description is wrong! FIX IT ASAP! Or else you are going to have some serious credibility issues with this book before people ever pick it up!

Absolutely a great book. Awesome photos of weapons and equipment. Detailed accounts of SEAL actions in the GWOT. And above all, a just tribute to some of America's finest warriors. My highest recommendation.

What better recommendation can a book on Navy SEALs have than that of Marcus Luttrell???? He even wrote an introduction. Seriously, although it doesn't say anything in the description, this book is chock full of hundreds of never-before-seen photos taken by actual Navy SEALs during their tours of duty. It's worth it for the pictures alone.
For anyone who has ever wondered what it would have been like to be a Navy SEAL, this book is an awesome introduction. It has very first hand accounts of the legendary BUDS school and more very first hand accounts from all major SEAL missions, going back to Panama all the way up to modern Iraq, including the story of the current SEAL sniper with the most confirmed kills in all of SOCOM.
If you're at all interested in SEAL history, SEAL operations or what SEALs are doing in the War on Terror, you have to get this book. All of my military-obsessed friends are getting one for Christmas.
