The new SEALs hardcover, packed with photos from the UDT/SEAL museum and the SEALs themselves.

By the close of the Vietnam war, the SEALs had established themselves as a living legend in combat. But the nature of combat was about to change. Learning to outmaneuver terrorists, and contain volatile situations, the SEALs have maintained their authority into the new millennium.

This fully illustrated, comprehensive volume follows the life of the Navy SEALs from the aftermath of Vietnam--through the trials of Grenada, Bosnia, and Afghanistan-- and looks toward the future with first-hand accounts as well as little known facts about the men, their weapons, and their missions.

From the publisher

Kevin Dockery has been a soldier in the President's Guard under Presidents Nixon and Ford, a grade-school teacher, radio broadcaster, gunsmith, and historian. He even spent time in Iraq and Kuwait during Desert Storm as what he refers to as a "corporate mercenary." As a noted military historian, he has written a number of books on the history of the Navy SEALs and the lives of the men who lived that history including Navy SEALs: A History of the Early Years.

First line

The Vietnam War had been a testing ground for the SEALs where they not only proved that the concept behind their creation was sound, but that it was outstanding.
