Combat Swimmer
by Robert A. Gormly
Often called "The Elite of the Elite," the U.S. Navy SEALs are survivors of the most rigorous physical and mental training the military has to offer and the fiercest human weapons of our defense. Sharp, swift, and silent, the SEALs created a legend that would grow throughout the Vietnam War and earn an enemy bounty for their capture dead or alive. Now, Captain Robert A. Gormly, the highest ranking SEAL to write his memoir, tells about his days as the leader of this remarkable fighting machine taking us into the night, the water, and into battle on some of the most hair-raising missions ever assigned. Trained to a fine fighting edge just in time for Vietnam, Gormly served two tours of duty, as well as engaging in top-secret missions in the Persian Gulf. Here, he shares his viewpoint an his experience including what is perhaps the most graphic description ever of SEAL action in the invasion of Grenada. Plunged by chance into a life of danger, Gormly takes us behind the myth of this awesome team, revealing how their lives and ultimately our own depend on their unprecedented expertise.
