THE MEN BEHIND THE TRIDENT

I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT. I THINK THAT THE STORIE REALLY BRINGS OUT THE SEAL MISSIONS THAT HAPPENED IN VIETNAM. AS A READER OF VIETNAM WAR BOOKS THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. THIS BOOK WILL NOT BE PUT AWAY ON THE BOOK RACK.

Great stories told about SEALs in 'Nam

I think this book had some very interesting stories and some neat facts. One of my favorite parts is when the SEALs are on a ambush in the water and a crayfish comes up bites this guys kneecap and he starts screaming his lungs out.

"Good"

Former U.S. Navy SEALs (from SEAL Team One) tell you their stories and some of the things they remembered while in Vietnam. Provides a bit of insight into the kind of operations they ran while in Vietnam. It is interesting, and is an easy-read... not bad at all.
