Weapons of the Navy Seals

East Rutherford, New Jersey, U.S.A.: Berkley Caliber, 2004. New book, 537 pages. From the shores of Normandy to the Jugles of Vietnam to more recent conflicts in the Middle East, the Navy SEALs and their predecessors have played a pivotal role in the development of modern military technology. Renowned as much for their technical prowess as their deadly skill in combat, the SEALs have not only been to first to test weapons in the field, they have also expertly modified and refined them according to the demands of battle, making them their own. For the first time, this painstakingly researched volume covers the weapons and ammunition that have served the SEALs in combat operations around the globe. Much more than a mere catalog of arms, it traces each weapon from the development stage to its current form. Also included are exclusive accounts from the men who were among the first to see these weapons used in armed conflict. Written with the cooperation of the UDT/SEAL Museum Association, packed with detailed information and photos - some never before seen in print - this book offers fresh insight into the technology that for decades has sustained the Navy SEALs as an unstoppable military force.. Soft Cover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
