With a postscript describing SEAL efforts in Afghanistan,
The Warrior Elite takes you into the toughest, longest, and most
relentless military training in the world.
What does it take to become a Navy SEAL? What makes talented,
intelligent young men volunteer for physical punishment, cold
water, and days without sleep? In The Warrior Elite, former Navy
SEAL Dick Couch documents the process that transforms young men
into warriors. SEAL training is the distillation of the human
spirit, a tradition-bound ordeal that seeks to find men with
character, courage, and the burning desire to win at all costs, men
who would rather die than quit.
