Poignant stories

The poignant stories of fighting by veterans of marine commandos (SEALs) in Vietnam. Good reading.

Great personal accounts

These autobiographies are well written, with some background info from the editors in between. They include accounts of plankowners from SEAL teams One and Two, as well as one from the interesting personality of James Janos, best known as Jesse 'the Body' Ventura, former pro wrestler and former governor of Minnesota.

The Teams

Great book and well written. It gives you the fell of what it is like to leave a navy seals life. From the get go it shows everything from boot camp to Black ops. This is a true life account of the SEALs in action. Told by only the ones who did it!The men whose awesome courage under fire and breathtakingly unconventional combat techniques changed the way ground war will forever be waged.

The Teams: An Oral History Of The U.S. Navy SEALs

I have read a couple books about the SEAls but I have to say this was the best yet. While reading it I could barly put it down because it was so action packed and it described what SEAL training is like and some of the missions SEALs went with great detail and enthusiasm. Over all I found this to be an exellent book

Great read, very interesting

Takes you from the UDT beginning, to the creation of SEAL team 1,some not too common knowledge. And some stories about the human interest.
