If you're a SEALs or Special Forces fanatic like me you'll read this no matter what any review says just because you're so desperate to clue into these guys' stories. I've read just about every personal account I can get my hand on and eventually found my way to this one. It's really not very good if you're interested in Vietnam action. One whole section is devoted to stories about skydiving. One chapter is an interview with Rudy Boesch's wife about her experience skydiving? Still want to read? Because there is so little battle stories I found the chapters on SDV operation the most interesting. All in all a very mediocre book. Read this one if you're really as desperate as I am for every word you can find about these guys.
