Often called the Elite of the Elite, the U.S. Navy SEALs are survivors of the most rigorous physical and mental training the military has to offer-and they become the fiercest human weapons of our defense. Sharp, swift, and silent, the SEALs created a legend that grew throughout the Vietnam War and that earned an enemy bounty for their capture-dead or alive. Now Captain Robert A. Gormly tells about his days as the leader of the remarkable fighting machine-taking us into the night, into the water, and into battle on some of the most hair-raising missions ever assigned.
