Summary

<p>They were selected for their commitment and uncommon bravery, and for skills that far surpassed those of ordinary soldiers. They operated in "Teams' of up to 200 officers and men, taking the firefight to the enemy's most fiercely protected strongholds -- winning the battles only they could win. They earned the eternal respect of a nation, and they recall with pride their remarkable exploits in a war lesser men would sooner forget. THE TEAMS is an explosive account of the SEALs in action -- told in the words of the men whose awesome courage under fire and breathtakingly unconventional combat techniques changed the way ground war will forever be waged. Detailed and blisteringly authentic, here are unforgettable first-hand stories of everything from BUD/S training to "black ops," related with remarkable candor by six fighting men who helped write the glorious legend in blood and fire...and who were then, and will always be, proud to be call SEALs!</p>
