The Untold Story of the Navy Seals
They operate by sea, air and land, descending from the night sky, rising from the ocean depths, striking their targets with deadly efficiency, then vanishing into the darkness from which they emerged. From the dank jungles of Vietnam to the tropical shores of Panama to the blistering sands of Saddam Hussein's Iraq, the U.S. Navy SEALS have become the most fearsome special operations force in the world.
Now, drawing on extensive interviews and recently declassified files, Orr Kelly presents in his book the first in-depth look at the origin, evolution and future of this revered military elite. With unique new insight into their tactics and their methods, their past triumphs and scandals, including the celebrated Marcinko (Rogue Warrior) case, Kelly leads us into the shadowy realm of danger and deception where SEAL commandos live - and sometimes die - by their own rules.
