A brilliant virtuoso of violence, Richard Marcinko rose through Navy ranks to create and command one of this country's most elite and classified counterterrorist units, SEAL TEAM SIX. Now this thirty-year veteran recounts the secret missions and Special Warfare madness of his worldwide military career -- and the riveting truth about the top-secret Navy SEALs. Marcinko was almost inhumanly tough, and proved it on hair-raising missions across Vietnam and a war-torn world: blowing up supply junks, charging through minefields, jumping at 19,000 feet with a chute that wouldn't open, fighting hand-to-hand in a hellhole jungle. For the Pentagon, he organized the Navy's first counterterrorist unit: the legendary SEAL TEAM SIX, which went on classified missions from Central America to the Middle East, the North Sea, Africa and beyond. Then Marcinko was tapped to create Red Cell, a dirty-dozen team of the military's most accomplished and decorated counterterrorists. Their unbelievable job was to test the defenses of the Navy's most secure facilities and installations. The result was predictable: all hell broke loose. Here is the hero who saw beyond the blood to ultimate justice -- and the decorated warrior who became such a maverick that the Navy brass wanted his head on a pole, and for a time, got it. Richard Marcinko -- ROGUE WARRIOR.
Get up close and personal with the real Navy SEALs who inspired the
mega-selling Rogue Warrior series The Real Team spotlights each
member, adding depth and greater reality to the persona of the
Rogue Warrior. Told in Marcinko's unique first-person voice,
readers will learn how and why he chose each of them in order to
assemble one of the finest antiterrorist groups in U.S. history.

In seven smash "Rogue Warrior" bestsellers, Richard Marcinko and
John Weisman have delivered nonstop action and explosive thrills.
Now the Rogue Warrior writes a new set of rules for the shadowy
world of Black Ops....
Dangerous times require dangerous men. And there isn't a man alive
more deadly than the Rogue Warrior. Captain Richard "NMN" Marcinko
must uncover the truth behind recent attempts to destabilize
Azerbaijan, the tiny former Soviet republic that holds the key to
the oil-rich Caspian Sea. A pipeline to the West is planned, and
both Russia and Iran want control. But there are hidden players,
including billionaire Steve Sarkesian; just how he ties in with the
Russkies and Arabs is unclear, but treachery is afoot to choke off
America's black gold.
Enlisting his elite SEALs, Marcinko races to the heart of the
Middle East, doing what he does best -- breaking rules and cracking
heads until the only thing left standing is justice.
AS A U.S. NAVY SEAL, RICHARD MARCINKO KNEW NO LIMITS -- AS THE
"ROGUE WARRIOR," HE OBEYS NO RULES
SpecWar master Richard Marcinko has revealed classified,
kill-or-be-killed operations in a series of "New York Times"
bestsellers: Rogue Warrior, his #1 blockbuster autobiography, and
four scorching Rogue Warrior novels. Now in an electrifying new
adventure, the Rogue Warrior battles an ultra-secret, ultra-lethal
military plot.
The Rogue Warrior's taking a flying leap -- a high-altitude jump
over the South China Sea. His mission: scuttle a Chinese
freighter's cargo of nuclear hardware and its crack crew of naval
commandos. It's a leave-no-tracks, take-no-prisoners operation --
in short, business as usual. But on board Marcinko makes a chilling
discovery: a cache of state-of-the-art command and control
equipment, all made in the U.S.A. -- and primed for America's
destruction
Marcinko takes his findings back to Washington, where he runs into
a wall of doublespeak and double deals. But not everyone wants to
see America go down the drain. General Tom Crocker, chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, unleashes the SEALs of war -- Marcinko and a
Pentagon-based unit, SEAL Force Alpha -- to neutralize a global
maze of political deceit that begins all too close to home.
The Chinese sense victory. They have a mole in the White House,
and five thousand years of military strategy on their side. But
neither the traitor nor all the wisdom of Sun Tzu are prepared for
Marcinko and his men. They, after all, live by the Rogue Warrior's
Tenth Commandment of SpecWar: "There Are No Rules -- Thou Shalt Win
At All Cost."
