Summary: They only made one Roy Boehm -- he kept the plans and mold.
Review: There is no question that First Seal will go down as probably the best book ever written about the formation of the SEALs. Without Roy's drive and vision, things might have turned out differently. I would have to say that anyone even vaguely interested in Naval Special Warfare HAS to read this book. Great job Roy, and I am sure you have more to write about. Keep 'em coming.

Summary: Very exciting to read
Review: This book has been one of the most interesting of anything I have read. Talk about exciting if at times brutal facts how chain of command works and why we the public wonder how certain things can happen. I just wish Roy had written more! But never to fear I found Marcinko.

Summary: untitled
Review: This book is a package of distorted history and countless inaccuracies, bursting with profanity, wrapped in fiction masquerading as fact.

Summary: Roy Boehm, a true American Hero
Review: This is my first review and probably my last. My reason is to take exception to the comments of the reviewer from Dayton, Ohio. Not that Roy needs me to defend him, but in fairness a response is warranted. First Seal is an insight into one of America's greatest warriors. SEAL's are regarded as probably the finest unconventional warriors in the world and First Seal brings you the man responsible for them. This is an excellent book, especially for those seeking insight into their foundation. Yes, there are personal attacks, yes there is profanity, and it is not for the light of heart. But honesty is something not viewed through rose colored glasses either. The Navy is an institution, and as such viewed the SEAL's as a "necessary evil". That Roy succeeded and accomplished as much as he did is a tribute to his tenacity and his perserverance. But in addition to the story of the SEAL's, is Roy's story and that is what First Seal is about. Roy has done more and seen more than any of us could imagine. Don't dwell on the perceived inaccuracies, but read the book as it was intended. Roy's exploits are legendary and his men always knew where he was when things got tough, at the front of it all !! And as for the comment that there is no "I" or "Me" in "Team", remember.... There is no "We" in "Leadership"

Summary: The real deal! Truth is stranger than fiction!
Review: Without doubt, one of the best books ever written about warfare and warriors and specifically the world's ultimate special warfare units including UDT, SEALs and Army Special Forces. . . , Who are these guys? What makes them tick? And what kind of man did it take to start up and train and lead these incredible warriors. Roy Boehm, of course, "Papa-san SEAL numbah one." He tells it all with the unique insight only a true leader of men who's been there and done it all could possibly explain. "Psychiatrists have had field days trying to figure out what kind of man it takes to succeed . . . Trying to predict who might endure the torture of pain, fatigue, humiliation, mental and physical exhaustion, cold and heat," he writes. "The profile of the ideal candidate calls for a man drug free, morally acceptable (within certain reasonable limits), capable of passing a security check, intelligent, and naturally phlegmatic under pressure. He must have endurance, physical strength, a high threshold for pain and discomfort, and a sense of humor in order to endure immense stress without falling apart." An incredible book about incredible warriors! "FIRST SEAL" is the real deal!
