Seal Warrior: The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday

Authentic Hero's

SEAL WARRIOR is a crystal clear, sometimes frightening and sometimes funny, first-hand account of how the US Navy SEALs survived and redefined the meaning of guerilla warfare. Written by Master Chief Tom Keith, one of the most decorated Navy SEALs, and J. Terry Riebling, the book is a riveting narrative of both deadly warfare and the recreational activities of some of the most honored warriors in US military history. This is the story of the men who trained, fought, bled, learned, and made the SEALs what they have become today.

The Foreward, by Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Michael Thornton sets the stage for a deeper understanding of the early teams. Thornton's characterization of Keith as "one of the warriors that made the SEALs what they became: the most deadly, unconventional group of warriors who have ever existed," assures the reader that the book is well worth price and that action will soon follow. SEAL WARRIOR put me inside the SEAL mentality and gave me a clear understanding of what the words duty, honor, country, and brother, mean. Today it seems the media is ready to call almost anyone "hero." SEAL WARRIOR is about authentic hero's. Tom Keith and the men with whom he served are the real deal.

SEAL Warrior - A Must Have Book

SEAL Warrior takes the reader through the life of a highly decorated member of the Navy SEAL Teams. Tom Keith tells his story in a way that no others have, with behind the scene antics and in your face battle scenes. This book is entertaining from the opening pages and full of thrills to the end. The forward is written by Medal of Honor winner and fellow friend and SEAL, Mike Thornton. Tom is respected by all who know him and once you read this book you will know why and join the ranks with the others. Do yourself a favor and get this book today.

Excellent and well written.

I enjoyed this book very much and recommend it to anyone with an interest in knowing what it was like for the brave men fighting in the jungles of Vietnam.

Great read. Lots of action, detail and insight.

A salute to a very brave, competent and decorated Navy SEAL named Thomas Keith and the Navy SEALs in general.
The SEALs work in the very difficult and dangerous combat environment called Vietnam is described here in a way that weaves together both technical and human sides of the conflict from the perspective of a SEAL who was there for three tours of duty.
One would hope that our politicians/bureaucrats would be as diligent, meticulous and competent in their strategic planning as the Navy SEALs are in their tactical planning and operations.

Well written; great stories

It is said that all war stories can only be told from the point of view of the individual warrior. That is certainly true here, since Mr. Keith only tells of some of the missions in which he took part. This isn't a definitive history of the Vietnam War nor does it purport to be. But it is a great history of one of the earliest SeAL warrior's experiences in the war that shaped the training and fighting skills of our most flexible fighting force. Well worth the money and time.
