Well for starters, I was lead to believe this was nonfiction... This is a REAL SMOOTH reading about the S.E.A.L./U.D.T. teams. I was impressed with the details they enthralled me. Each chapter takes place in a bar with members that made it back to the states and they are talking about different scenarios, with different men and missions. It is a must read, but with it being fiction, it only gets 4 stars. So the final question is in the appendix...is IT all true???????

I liked this book alot. Each of the chapters covered a different operation and was very fast paced. Vietnam era SEAL/UDT operations were covered extensively and with a human touch. My only complaint (kind of a big one for me), and the reason I didn't give it a five star, is that the packaging of this paperback leads the reader to believe this is a work of non-fiction. The front and back cover do not mention this is fiction, and only once I got home did I notice the word fiction on the spine. The author states in his review these stories are based on fact. I just wonder what is fiction and what is non-fiction. Other than this personal complaint this is probably the most readable and flowing book on SEALs that I have read. Enjoy it but know it's ficton.
