Seals in Action

From the bullet-swept beaches of Normandy to the streets of Panama...From the rugged Korean coast and the jungles of Vietnam to the tiny, troubled island of Granada. For half a century, whenever and wherever America's military was called into action, the SEALs were there.

Here is the riveting and complete true story of the U.S. Navy's remarkable Sea Air Land commandos — their evolution from World War II underwater demolition teams to the awesome counterguerrilla/counterterrorist strike force in operation today.

Now the SEALs' most memorable engagements are brought to vivid, explosive life through breathtaking eyewitness accounts and afteraction reports — PLUS an unforgettable inside look at their training, organization, equipment...and the fighting men who, with skill, dedication, and extraordinary courage, have earned the right to proudly wear the Trident insignia.
