SEAL Team Six is a secret unit tasked with counterterrorism, hostage rescue,
and counterinsurgency. In this dramatic, behind-the-scenes chronicle, Howard
Wasdin takes readers deep inside the world of Navy SEALS and Special Forces
snipers, beginning with the grueling selection process of Basic Underwater
Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S).the toughest and longest military training in
the world.

After graduating, Wasdin faced new challenges. First there was combat in
Operation Desert Storm as a member of SEAL Team Two. Then the Green Course:
the selection process to join the legendary SEAL Team Six, with a curriculum
that included practiced land warfare to unarmed combat. More than learning
how to pick a lock, they learned how to blow the door off its hinges.
Finally as a member of SEAL Team Six he graduated from the most storied and
challenging sniper program in the country: The Marine.s Scout Sniper School.
Eventually, of the 18 snipers in SEAL Team Six, Wasdin became the best.which
meant one of the best snipers on the planet.

Less than half a year after sniper school, he was fighting for his life.
The mission: capture or kill Somalian warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid. From
rooftops, helicopters and alleys, Wasdin hunted Aidid and killed his men
whenever possible. But everything went quickly to hell when his small band
of soldiers found themselves fighting for their lives, cut off from help,
and desperately trying to rescue downed comrades during a routine mission.
The Battle of Mogadishu, as it become known, left 18 American soldiers dead
and 73 wounded. Howard Wasdin had both of his legs nearly blown off while
engaging the enemy. His dramatic combat tales combined with inside details
of becoming one of the world.s deadliest snipers make this one of the most
explosive military memoirs in years.
