A great single-volume introduction to the Navy SEALs

Osprey's Elite series is an outgrowth of it's earlier Men-at-Arms series. I think it was originally conceived as a way to cover some of the world's special military forces like the British Paras or the Texas Rangers. Although the series has veered off into other topics like tactics in recent years, this volume from Mir Bahmanyar brings it back to its original goal of covering special ops. It's not as comprehensive as information you'll find in longer books--or even Bahmanyar's new book on the SEALs, which is awesome--but it has lots of great photos and the illustrations are informative, if somewhat below Osprey's usual high standard.
