Seal Team Two
by Harry Constance, Randall Fuerst
In the mid-nineteen sixties, Harry Constance made a life-altering journey
that led him out of Texas and into the jungles of Vietnam. As a young naval
officer, he went from UDT training to the U.S. Navy's newly formed SEAL
Team Two, and then straight into furious action. By 1970, he was already
the veteran of three hundred combat missions and the recipient of thirty-two
military citations, including three Bronze stars and a Purple Heart. Amazon.com

One
Perfect Op: An Insider's Account of the Navy Seal Special Warfare Teams
by Dennis C. Chalker, et al
Dennis Chalker says "the greatest challenge offered by the U.S. military
[is] to become a Navy SEAL." A former SEAL himself, Chalker tells of his
life and times in one of the military's most elite units. Much of One Perfect
Op describes the extensive training each SEAL goes through, not only to
become a SEAL but to remain one: "Our training had been hard and dangerous
for a reason: you train as you fight." And the training certainly was hazardous--Chalker
describes how one of his teammates was killed during an exercise. About
half the book goes by before Chalker sees his first real combat, during
the invasion of Grenada in 1983. His unit was tasked with protecting the
island's governor. He also saw action in Panama and on a number of other
operations, though he often leaves out the names of places and dates because
these remain classified. His career was certainly varied. He was once part
of "Red Cell," a special SEAL team whose job was to play the part of terrorists
and test the security of naval facilities. At another point, he stormed
a hostile beach to help a family escape. His equipment included all the
standard SEAL hardware--guns, night-vision goggles, etc.--as well as a
baby carrier and pacifier. Richard Marcinko writes the introduction (Chalker
served under him), and his fans will easily become Chalker's fans as well.
