"The Inside Story of America's Ultimate Warriors" When Osama bin
Laden was assassinated, the entire world was fascinated by the men
who had completed the seemingly impossible mission that had dogged
the U.S. government for over a decade. SEAL Team 6 became
synonymous with heroism, duty, and justice. Only a handful of the
elite men who make up the SEALs, the US Navy's best and bravest,
survive the legendary and grueling selection process that leads to
becoming a member of Team 6, a group so classified it technically
does not even exist. There are no better warriors on Earth.
Don Mann knows what it takes to be a brother in this
ultra-selective fraternity. As a member of Seal Team Six for over
eight years and a SEAL for over seventeen years, he worked in
countless covert operations, operating from land, sea, and air, and
facing shootings, decapitations, and stabbings. He was captured by
the enemy and lived to tell the tale, and he participated in highly
classified missions all over the globe, including Somalia, Panama,
El Salvador, Colombia, Afghanistan, and Iraq. As a coordinator for
several civilian SEAL training programs, and as a former Training
Officer of SEAL Team Six, he was directly responsible for shaping
the bodies and minds of SEALs who carried out the assassination of
Osama bin Laden.
But to become a SEAL, Mann had to overcome his own troubled
childhood and push his body to its breaking point--and beyond.
INSIDE SEAL TEAM 6 is a high octane narrative of physical and
mental toughness, giving unprecedented insight to the inner
workings of the training and secret missions of the world's most
respected and feared combat unit.
This timely military thriller finds SEAL Team Six and their
humanitarian allies confronting a notorious ISIS general, the
Viper, during his occupation of Aleppo, Syria. Despite the efforts
of the Assad government and its Russian and Turkish allies, Syria
is succumbing to the Islamic State. While Crocker and his SEAL Team
Six comrades try to help a small Kurdish border town organize a
resistance army, he finds an unexpected connection with Severine, a
French epidemiologist working for Doctors Without Borders. As
Severine and her colleagues establish a makeshift hospital in
besieged Aleppo, Crocker counsels caution. He knows too well that
their NGO status will be no protection from the Viper, a
notoriously vicious ISIS general with a deeply personal hatred of
the West. When the Viper's men kidnap one of Severine's American
colleagues, Crocker will pull every string at his disposal to
launch a rescue mission. But in a situation where the US has no
official business, he'll push every boundary of how far he's
willing to go--and how far his SEAL brothers in arms will follow
him--to save innocent lives.
