SEAL Warrior
About this book
"What is considered by many to be the greatest memoir ever written by a Navy SEAL . . . reads like an epic novel and a warfare manual at the same time." ? USNavySEALS.com
During the Vietnam era, many of the Navy SEALS never filed for a Purple Heart unless they were severely wounded. Thomas H. Keith, Master Chief, SEAL Team 2, is living proof. He carries a piece of shrapnel behind one lung, a reminder of the day he called in 40mm mortar fire on the enemy who was trying to catch up to his crew as they hauled ass out of the bush.
SEAL Warrior is his story: the vivid, gritty, transportive memoir of a third-generation soldier for whom serving his country was not only an honorâit was tradition. But while his grandfathers fought in France, and his father's position as a U.S. Navy Chief took him all around the world, Tom Keith fought his first war in the jungles of Vietnam.
SEAL Warrior goes beyond the horror and bravado of battle to offer a deeper insight into the ways in which the SEALs fought, learned, reacted, and expanded their understanding of guerrilla warfare during the Vietnam War. It's also a personal, riveting account of how one young American survived, and over time grew to trust and revere many of those who once had been his enemy.
"The author delivers a superb, nuts-and-bolts account of the weapons, gear, preparation, and tactics his unit employed; he includes frustrations along with triumphs . . . This is an excellent chronicle of superbly skilled warriors at work." ? Publishers Weekly
