When Osama bin Laden was assassinated,
the entire world was fascinated by the men who had completed
the seemingly impossible mission that had dogged the U.S.
government for over a decade. SEAL Team 6 became synonymous
with heroism, duty, and justice. Only a handful of the elite
men who make up the SEALs, the US Navy's best and bravest,
survive the legendary and grueling selection process that
leads to becoming a member of Team 6, a group so classified
it technically does not even exist. There are no better
warriors on Earth.
Don Mann knows what it takes to
be a brother in this ultra-selective fraternity. As a member
of Seal Team Six for over eight years and a SEAL for over
seventeen years, he worked in countless covert operations,
operating from land, sea, and air, and facing shootings,
decapitations, and stabbings. He was captured by the enemy
and lived to tell the tale, and he participated in highly
classified missions all over the globe, including Somalia,
Panama, El Salvador, Colombia, Afghanistan, and Iraq. As a
coordinator for several civilian SEAL training programs, and
as a former Training Officer of SEAL Team Six, he was
directly responsible for shaping the bodies and minds of
SEALs who carried out the assassination of Osama bin Laden.
But to become a SEAL, Mann had to overcome his own
troubled childhood and push his body to its breaking
point--and beyond. INSIDE SEAL TEAM 6 is a high octane
narrative of physical and mental toughness, giving
unprecedented insight to the inner workings of the training
and secret missions of the world's most respected and feared
combat unit.
