This book is Howard Wasdin's autobiography...his life before, during and after serving in the Elite group of Navy SEAL Team Six. This is a true story of today's proud warriors attempting to protect the safety and security that most Americans take for granted. Their dedication, discipline and perseverance will amaze you.

If you are a naive idealist, and believe that a round table meeting with evil people will change their evil ways...go back to singing kumbaya...you'll hate the reality this book makes you face. Though I remember the no-win Clinton era defense policies, lowering our defense budgets and closing down our defense bases, re-reading this history made me angry again. Clinton's release of Mohammed Atta and other terrorists was a blatant slap in the face to these guys who risked and lost their lives to capture them.

Yes, it's true, at times there are copious amounts of testosterone thrown about, along with some adrenaline, but during Wasdin's personal search for his own identity he exposes his humanity, sympathy, grace and humility. If you enjoy reading military tactics and strategy, you'll love this book.
