US navy seals, glossary+great book

This book was sort of a glossary, combined with a book of stories. It had alot of definitions inside, along with stories, which made it seem like it was more of a dictionary for Navy Seals. This book was still an interesting book, and a good book to read, although I was mislead, I thought it was more of a story book. I wasn't dissapointed by this book, it was still fun, and grabbing. I would give this book 4 stars because it wasn't exactly what type of book I was looking for, but was still a book I would recomend to people that have a slight interest in military topics.

The Most Informative Book on the U.S. Navy SEALs

This book is one of the best I have ever seen on Navy SEALs. It contains the most information and the most pictures of the SEALs in action. It shows every single weapons they use. It would have been better if they had explained it a little more clearly, though. To that 12-year-old reader, the P7 and the P9 actually both do exist, even though the book may have mixed up the two. Also, the M-4 being called the CAR-15 isn't wrong. In fact, they are right to refer to it as that. CAR-15 is the official technical military designation of the M-4. CAR stands for Compact Assault Rifle, since the M-4 is a compact version of the M-16, which is also designated as the AR-15. So referring to it as the CAR-15 isn't wrong. It's just that M-4 is a more proper designation. Hope that's all cleared up!

an ok book about the SEALs

I found it an informative book. However I found some mistakes in it. They confuesed the HK P9 for the HK P7. they also called the M4 A CAR-15. other than that is was a good book.

Inside the true action....

This book is very informative for the special forces/military lover or someone just interested in how America's elite soldiers train and operate. US Navy SEALs in Action shows the reader first hand how SEALs train and operate through amazing pictures and captions. This book also gives information on the equipment used by SEALs and the origin of the SEAL teams.
