"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.

The Book the CIA Doesn't Want You to Read
Gary Berntsen, the CIA's key commander coordinating the fight
against the Taliban forces around Kabul, comes out from under cover
for the first time to describe his no-holds-barred pursuit--and
cornering--of Osama bin Laden, and the reason the terrorist leader
escaped American retribution. As disturbingly eye-opening as it is
adrenaline-charged, "Jawbreaker" races from CIA war rooms to
diplomatic offices to mountaintop redoubts to paint a vivid
portrait of a new kind of warfare, showing what can and should be
done to deal a death blow to freedom's enemies.
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.

For much of the early 1990s, Haiti held the world's attention. A
fiery populist priest, Jean Bertrand Aristide, was elected
president and deposed a year later in a military coup. Soon
thousands of desperately poor Haitians started to arrive in
makeshift boats on the shores of Florida. In early 1993, the newly
elected Clinton administration pledged to make the restoration of
President Aristide one of the cornerstones of its foreign policy.
But that fall the U.S. let supporters of Haiti's ruling military
junta intimidate America into ordering the USS "Harlan County" and
its cargo of UN peacekeeping troops to scotch plans and return to
port. Less than a year later, for the first time in U.S. history, a
deposed president of another country prevailed on the United States
to use its military might to return him to office.
These extraordinary events provide the backdrop for "Plunging
into Haiti: Clinton, Aristide, and the Defeat of Diplomacy"--Ralph
Pezzullo's detailed account of the international diplomatic effort
to resolve the political crisis. Through his father, Lawrence
Pezzullo, who served as the U.S. special envoy to Haiti, Ralph
Pezzullo gained access to important players on all sides. He tells
the story of talented, committed men and women from the United
States, France, Argentina, and Haiti who dedicated themselves to
creating an outcome that would benefit Haiti and the rest of the
world. With the energy of a political thriller, "Plunging into
Haiti" fleshes out the central political struggle with threads of
Haitian history and will engage readers with a general interest in
Haiti as well as students of foreign policy. Using his unique
perspective and access, Ralph Pezzullo covers the aftermath of the
Clinton administration's diplomatic maneuvers to show an island
still in turmoil.
Ralph Pezzullo is an award-winning playwright, screenwriter,
novelist, poet, and journalist. He is the author of several books
including "Jawbreaker" and "At the Fall of Somoza" and has written
articles for the "Wall Street Journal," "Newsweek," the "Washington
Post," "Sports Illustrated," "Connoisseur," "GQ," "USA Weekend,"
