SEAL combat for people with CQB experience!
The book covers 2& 4 man clearing of cabines in a ship and also movement on deck which is really good. If you have some idea of CQB tactics you can follow stair clearing, intersection clearings, etc, becuase they don't show this or they show it but not step by step! Intersection clearing is just "use the one man clearence" they don't explain how to do it. To clear a corridor with doors on both sides they don't even explain i.e who covers what. Anyway it gives you some ideas how to clear in confined spaces but if you don't know CQB...well it could be hard to follow some things.Half the book contains pictures in B&W on different equipment. Some of these are quite interesting if you take your time to study them. The book is okay and if you are interested to learn different CQB-tactics you could get some ideas. Anyway 3-1/2 star it is.
I also recommend G.Suarez-Tactical Advantage and M.Lonsdale-RAIDS for additional information on CQB tactics.

Good Resource
I was suprised with the usefulness of the book.I was expecting a glossed over concept and got a book which offered some very useful info on basic CQB concerns and how to apply those to a shipboard environment.Maybe not a good "starter" book, but a valuable addition for people with some idea of CQB and CT operations.

HOLY HOT MUFFINS!
Amazing book, I use this all the time when entering my job, just in case a nasty ol' terrorist attempts to jump me, I'll be able to deal with him with a swift NAVY SEAL style beat down! Incredibly informative...

wonderful seals
I love the book because the photographs are great,information is correct, it is well-organized and easy to read. I would include some motivating, maybe a little bit artistic lines in it to move people into conservation efforts. One can read the book, learn it and leave it without considering one's own contribution

Product Description

A MAN OF ACTION

This is the extraordinary story of Lt. Cmdr. Michael J. Walsh, a veteran of twenty-six years of combat with the Navy's most elite special force -- the legendary SEALs. Outspoken renegade and consummate survivalist, Walsh began as a key player in the Vietnam War's top-secret PHOENIX Program. For a PHOENIX operative the goal was simple: invade the enemy's home and take him captive; remove the target alive if possible, dead if necessary. The Viet Cong soon feared Walsh so much that they placed a bounty of thousands of dollars on his head.

A MAN OF WAR

After five tours in Vietnam, Walsh refused to take a desk job, and subsequently spent more than two decades in combat in such explosive arenas as Lebanon and drug-infested Central America. From killing a VC general in hand-to-hand combat, to stalking anti-war activist Jane Fonda, to combing the streets of Beirut in search of his friend and former PHOENIX advisor William Buckley, Walsh and his unforgettable exploits stand alone as the pinnacle of daring and sacrifice in the storied history of the SEALs. ...

This is a true story:
I served with Commander Mike Walsh During his tour of duty in Panama 84-86 I was attached to Naval Station Panama Canal, Combat Craft Unit. I was Boat Captain of PCF-4.(Patrol Craft Fast) As a Gunners Mate Guns Petty Officer First Class. Commander Walsh was a true professional. A great man on or off duty.I read this book in one day. Truly one of the best books that I have read in my life. Made me feel that I was back in Panama conducting support for the various Special Warefare Units that worked with. Iam proud to say that I knew Commander Walsh. A man that never forgot where he came from...

No Nonsense!!!
SEAL is still one of the best memoires available today!!!
After completing this work, I was blessed to locate and actually spend some time with the author.
Put succinctly, Mike Walsh possesses more personal integrity, patriotism, and courageous resolve than most anyone above ground today.
His book is a gift to Americans concerned with guts, veracity, and acquiring an education from perceptions only viewable through the eyes of a highly intelligent and intrepid warrior.
The California clown that offers the "get over yourself" review below obviously is blind to understanding that even a humble man
like Mr. Walsh, tasked with attempting to record his extremely extraordinary life, will seem (to an ignoramus) to be boastful.
Mike Walsh is not a boastful man.
SEAL is the truthful product of a matured, religious individual whose personal discipline, devotion to country, and unpoliticized insights offers this nation's youth a measuring stick for honor.
Although my service was with the army, I would follow this naval 'Commander' into hell if he so desired.
SEAL is strong evidence that Mike Walsh knows all about that arena.
Americans need to read this one.
It'll make your chest stick out a bit further.

Illuminating SEALS
This book was riveting! It provided historical value with a personal component that truly engages the reader. The book gave insight to why certain missions were successful, and how some missions went wrong. Lt Mike Walsh has helped me to realize that our nation is not asleep! Now that we are engaged in war with Iraq, I was able to imagine the in's and out's of the recent successful SEAL mission to secure the two oil wells on 3/21/03. And finally, Lt Walsh's personal life-changing testimony is wonderful! Thanks, Lieutenant!

Get over yourself
Two stars for the historical facts, zero for the self-admiring, self-adoring, self-aggrandizing tone that permeates every page. SEALS, the elite, the best, the true warriors, etc., etc. Gimmie a break. A touch of the short-man's complex, I think - Mike tells us in glorious detail how very wonderful he was and all of the great things that he did. The only folks portrayed in a better light in the book are "SEAL legends".... I mean, c'mon, let's have less bias, please! He makes brief mention of the Green Berets, Aplini, SAS and Aussie SAS in the book, praising them, but it's otherwise "SEALS rule, don't mess with us, we're fierce warriors!". Listen, Bud, if you need to keep telling everyone this all the time, it's obvious that you don't believe it yourself.

The true warriors are the ones that Mike doesn't know about - they do their job well and no one ever knows it was done. No mention of these truly elite operators in this book. The self-congratulatory tone is almost nauseating in many chapters. There are so, so many books about elite forces and Viet nam, all available on AMAZON, that are much better than this hymn to SEALS.

Real courage under fire.
The story of an extraordinary man doing his daily job.This book provides insight into the elite fighting groups who defend our freedom.Included in this book are various pictures of Lt. Cmdr. Michael J. Walsh, USN, who is now retired.If you want to know what goes on behind the scenes, behind the news stories, read it. ... Read more

40 years old and in the best shape I have ever been in
Marks book has changed my life. I read his book in August of 2002 and was very impressed with what he said.I soon started the workout for myself and have seen some major changes in the shape of my body.His workout is hard and isnt for the wimpy but I would recommend it to everyone.I teach this workout to ladies at my church who range in age from 18-55.They have seen great results also. They keep coming back everyday so I know they love it too. If you want to get in shape try it, it works!

Hey, Mark de Lisle signed my copy!
I am extremely generous with this rating because Mark was bold enough to get himself in print at all.He mailed to me what I believe was a prototype version of the book back in early 1997.By what I mean by prototype is a light-brown 8X11 paperback with black-and-white pictures.Also, Mark had a nice write-up about the book in General Nutrition Center's magazine, "Let's Live", also in 1997, referring to this very same book.(This was around the same time Demi Moore's film "G.I. Jane" was released, about a fictional female SEAL.)
