Publisher Description
Follow America's elite warriors through the military's most grueling training and learn how they survive real special operations.
Of the 18 months required to become a Navy SEAL, one week will cause over half of the trainees to quit ("ring the bell"). Only the toughest make it through. In Hell Week and Beyond, Scott McEwen takes the readers to the sands of Coronado Beach in San Diego, where Navy SEALs are put through the most grueling training known to mankind. Grit, commitment, heart, and soul are needed to become a SEAL, because these are the elite forces who go into the toughest battles for America.
Many of the most well-known SEAL warriors have been interviewed for this book, providing the stories of what got them through and the humor of those that made it. (Those that make it almost always have one thing in common: humor. Find out why!)
Part Top Gun, part Bull Durham, this book delivers that goods for those in the know, as well as general readers who admire the elite forces for all they do.
Customer Reviews
Enjoyed The Narrative. Lost Me On The Lessons
I really liked the story.
The lessons were interesting until he wrote about Eddie Gallagher. He failed to mention that Gallagher was turned in by members of his Seal Team. The author goes on to say soldiers and law enforcement should not be held accountable for there actions by the public. Only their peers.
I was surprised by the author’s personal philosophy on display. At times it appears he was not living up to the high ideals of the Seals.
Would have given it 5 Stars, but his ego took over the Lessons.
