This action-packed account of the U.S. Navy's elite fighting force attests again and again to the old SEALs saying: "The only easy day was yesterday." A revised and expanded edition, U.S. Navy SEALs contains more than 100 color photos of today's SEALs during the training that pushes them to their limits, and in the midst of real missions that test their, and the nation's, mettle, from Vietnam through Grenada, Panama, and Desert Storm.

Review:

Military Trader, May 2006 (circ.: 7,000)

“Hans Halberstadt has written extensively on U.S. special operations forces. A talented photographer, he took most of the photos in this book. U.S. Navy SEALs is a good overview of the Navy’s special operations branch. It is a particularly good source of information on the organizations current-day training and equipment.”
