A great buy, 110% worth your money.

I just recently purchased this book and i loved it from the second i opened it. If you are interested in the Navy SEALs or anything about them, this book is right for you. It explains the SEALs in great detail and informs you about the missions they conduct, BUD/S training, the history of the SEAL Teams, techniques they use, pretty much everything. There are great photographs. I love this book, and i'm sure you will too.

Good for a SEAL lover!

I think this Book was really well written. It is not for people who want to know about the Navy, but more for people who just want to know about Navy SEALs. It goes in good detail about the SEALs and talks a lot about Weapons, Missions, History, BUD/S Training, and what it is like to be a SEAL. I enjoyed it and I think it educated me a lot about SEALs. It's not a book with a story in it but a book for you to understand what exactly Navy SEALs are and do. If you are a big fan of SEALs this may be the book for you because of it's Details.

An informative and exciting book to read.

This is a must read book for those people fascinated with the Seal Teams. It is especially interesting due to its many detailed pictures (recent and present). The author is successful in describing the physical and mental aspects of becoming a Seal. The reader will quickly find out what it takes to become a Seal, the different positions held within a Seal Team, and the various weapons and equipment that Navy Seals use. If a person wishes to learn more about the US Navy Seals this is without a doubt the book to buy.

This is a great book for info on Navy Seals

Well where do I begin, They first tell you about the history of the Navy Seals then they go into detail about the weapons and what the missions that seals do. Also they give a whole section on how to become a seal. If anybody wants to be a seal or just know stuff about them this is a very good book.
