The Inside Story of America's Ultimate Warriors
When Osama bin Laden was assassinated, the entire world was fascinated by the men who had completed the seemingly impossible mission that had dogged the U.S. government for over a decade. SEAL Team 6 became synonymous with heroism, duty, and justice. Only a handful of the elite men who make up the SEALs, the US Navy's best and bravest, survive the legendary and grueling selection process that leads to becoming a member of Team 6, a group so classified it technically does not even exist. There are no better warriors on Earth.
Don Mann knows what it takes to be a brother in this ultra-selective fraternity. As a member of Seal Team Six for over eight years and a SEAL for over seventeen years, he worked in countless covert operations, operating from land, sea, and air, and facing shootings, decapitations, and stabbings. He was captured by the enemy and lived to tell the tale, and he participated in highly classified missions all over the globe, including Somalia, Panama, El Salvador, Colombia, Afghanistan, and Iraq. As a coordinator for several civilian SEAL training programs, and as a former Training Officer of SEAL Team Six, he was directly responsible for shaping the bodies and minds of SEALs who carried out the assassination of Osama bin Laden.
But to become a SEAL, Mann had to overcome his own troubled childhood and push his body to its breaking point -- and beyond. Inside Seal Team 6 is a high octane narrative of physical and mental toughness, giving unprecedented insight to the inner workings of the training and secret missions of the world's most respected and feared combat unit.
Customer Reviews
Incredible story!
I thoroughly enjoyed this account of someone who overcame adversity many times in their life to accomplish what very few could accomplish in much more ideal circumstances. Its too bad that so much of the book had to be blacked out but you most certainly get a clear picture of what the life of a Navy SEAL is typically like.
Mostly about endurance sports and training
Nothing much talked about with seal teams in action just some training. Poorly written for Mann. The redacted portions are obviously not actually redacted but space filler where there was no flow between subject. Any portion redacted is in other novels or is mentioned in following statement in this book.
Good book but...
It was a good read but I can't get over all the blacked out parts. I get the reason for this but it is frustrating. I feel like I got 8/10ths of a book.
