When the US Navy send their elite, they send the SEALs. When
the SEALs send their elite, they send SEAL Team Six. SEAL Team Six
is a clandestine unit tasked with counterterrorism, hostage rescue
and counterinsurgency. Until recently its existence was a
closely-guarded secret. Then ST6 took down Osama bin Laden, and the
operatives within it were thrust into the global spotlight. In this
behind-the-scenes chronicle, former ST6 shooter Howard Wasdin takes
readers deep inside the world of Navy SEALs and Special Forces
snipers. From descriptions of the gruelling selection processes
involved in reaching this elite within an elite, to his terrifying
ordeal at the ''Black Hawk Down'' battle in Somalia, Wasdin''s book is
one of the most explosive military memoirs in years.
