"[The] definitive history of the U.S. Navy SEALs and their forefathers" (Master Chief Bill Bruhmuller (USN, Ret.), founding member of SEAL Team two).

New York Times-bestselling authors Dick Couch-a former SEAL-and William Doyle chart the SEALs' story, from their origins in the daring Naval Combat Demolition Teams, Underwater Demolition Teams, Scouts and Raiders commando units, and OSS Operational Swimmers of World War II to their coming of age in Vietnam and rise to glory in Iraq and Afghanistan after 9/11.
