First Seal

Rating:
Summary: An extraordinary book about an extraordinary man!
Review: Just as the title says; I believe the others who have reviewed this book have done it justice with their praise. Roy Boehm is an extraordinary man and his story suffers from no shortage of excitement. The book itself is also top knotch; no excessive drawl to take away from the story. Read this book! You will NOT regret your purchase!

Summary: An honest book by a true American Hero and Patriot!
Review: No false bravado or bragadocio here. This book is simply an honest book by a real man, not a created myth. Roy Boehm was tasked with creating the Navy SEAL's, but that is just one of several amazing stories outlined in a military career that covered World War II through Veitnam. A shark pulling his injured friend from his arms after their ship is sunk, swimming into Cuba to verify missles during that crisis, an assassination of a double agent in the Dominican Republic and creating the SEAL's are just some of the stories. Oh yeah, he suck's his wife's drunken bald parakeet "Fluffy" up in a vacuum too! Slow to accept praise, quick to accept blame, honest to a fault and at times laugh-out-loud funny this book is a story about a unique individual who did some amazing things and thank God for the United States, he was on our side! A great read!

Summary: First SEAL is the best so far!
Review: Once I picked this book up, I never put it down! Before this book I was into Tom Clancy, but Boehm just put him in some seriuos shame! This book was awesome! It doesn't explain a whole lot about what SEALs go through training wise, but it does tell you alot about how they work and how they came to be. Roy Boehm was the first SEAL you know, he created them. The guy is awesome, he leaves some stuff out (government won't let him print it) but it's still a really great book. If your into SEALs or are just looking for a very interesting book, pick it up. I guarentee you'll love it.

Summary: Youll never get bored
Review: Probably the best book ive ever read. If you really want to be a SEAL, then it pays to know something about it's history, and the man who created it, Roy Boehm. If your going to purchase only one book about the teams , this is the one.

Summary: Number One!
Review: Roy Boehm and Charles W. Sasser's book "First Seal" is a biographical look at Roy Boehm's life and his involvement the what became the US Navy's SEALs. It is a highly interesting book, coupled with wonderful stories of the adventures of Mr Boehm during his time in the US Navy.
Without the pleasure of meeting Mr Boehm in person, this book opens to the general public to the actions and history of a true leader and a great American!

Summary: Best book about the SEALS written, you will not put it down.
Review: Roy Boehm the father of us all has finally put it down on paper. Now you can appreciate the story of Americas best, most elite fighting unit from the originator. More than a story about the TEAMS this is a look into a mans soul. Without Roy's tenacity and personality the SEAL concept would have been little more than an unfulfilled idea of a great American President. No other person would have had the daring or the dedication to see this dream fulfilled. All that the TEAMS are today we owe to this unsung (except to those of us who know him) dedicated American Patriot. Thanks Roy for sharing your life with the world

Summary: Fantastic, I could not put it down!
Review: The true blood, guts and heartache of the man who envisioned that one day America would become involved in guerrilla/unconventional warfare and would need highly-trained underwater warriors. He was the first SEAL and the first leader of the SEALS. Because he demanded only the best for his men and would not back down, he was eventually replaced as the SEALS leader. Read what it was really like, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Roy used his experience, guts and his heart and is not afraid to tell it like it is. This book was written by Roy, not a ghost writer.
