About this title

From the Back Cover:

A fascinating look at the elite SEAL Team Six as told by one of its founding members; a riveting exploration into the military′s Special Forces consciousness.

SEAL Team Six is one of the most elite fighting forces in the US military. In this comprehensive history of SEAL Team Six in the 1980s and 1990s, Command Master Chief Dennis Chalker tells of the missions and perils he encountered as a ′plank owner′ of this counter terrorist unit.

′A perfect op′, in SEAL lingo, is an operation in which a mission is completed without discovery of intervention. Chalker tells of one such ′Perfect Op′ when SEALs Team Six successfully penetrated enemy territory, completed their objective and left without leaving any mark of their passage. And it is this kind of incredible, never-before-told detail that makes this a fascinating and unforgettable read.

Chalker has written a first-hand account of military life, which will rivet readers and show everyone just what a special forces unit is all about.
