A hard-hitting exposé of SEAL Team 6, the US military's best-known
brand, that reveals how the Navy SEALs were formed, then
sacrificed, in service of American empire. The Navy SEALs are, in
the eyes of many Americans, the ultimate heroes. When they killed
Osama Bin Laden in 2011, it was celebrated as a massive victory.
Former SEALs rake in cash as leadership consultants for
corporations, and young military-bound men dream of serving in
their ranks. But the SEALs have lost their bearings. Investigative
journalist Matthew Cole tells the story of the most lauded unit,
SEAL Team 6, revealing a troubling pattern of war crimes and the
deep moral rot beneath authorized narratives. From their origins in
World War II, the SEALs have trained to be specialized killers with
short missions. As the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan became the
endless War on Terror, their violence spiraled out of control. Code
Over Country details the high-level decisions that unleashed the
SEALs' carnage and the coverups that prevented their crimes from
coming to light. It is a necessary and rigorous investigation of
the unchecked power of the military-and the harms enacted by and
upon soldiers in America's name.
