Seals in Action

by Kevin Dockery

Warriors of the Trident From the bullet-swept beaches of Normandy to the streets of Panama...From the rugged Korean coast and the jungles of Vietnam to the tiny, troubled island of Granada. For half a century, whenever and wherever America's military was called into action, the SEALs were there. Here is the riveting and complete true story of the U.S. Navy's remarkable Sea Air Land commandos -- their evolution from World War II underwater demolition teams to the awesome counterguerrilla/counterterrorist strike force in operation today. Now the SEALs' most memorable engagements are brought to vivid, explosive life through breathtaking eyewitness accounts and afteraction reports -- PLUS an unforgettable inside look at their training, organization, equipment...and the fighting men who, with skill, dedication, and extraordinary courage, have earned the right to proudly wear the Trident insignia.

[Barb · Rating 4 out of 5]

To begin with I had no idea that the SEALS were Navy, I just associated them as military. The Trident insignia was approved for wear in 1970. 40% of men trying to become SEALS will quit. UDT is the underwater demolition team. This novel describes the beginning of the SEALS , some of their mission and outcomes. The class of 1989 their slogan was “The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday.” Learning of the missions was interesting . I am grateful for all of our military and am in awe of the SEALS!
