About this audiobook
The old battle tactics were useless for the U.S. soldiers in Vietnam, who were fighting a guerrilla war on foreign soil for the first time in American history.
With the depth and honesty of Steel My Soldiers' Hearts, SEAL Warrior sheds light on the operations of the SEAL teams in Vietnam and shows how the SEALs laid the foundation for the modern guerrilla warfare that is used today. It also documents how one young American survived, fought, and grew to honor and trust many who had once been his enemy.
With America again involved in guerrilla warfare, Seal Warrior honors the unique abilities, understanding, courage, and insight of these warriors who hope and fight for nothing less than peace.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a good insight into the early, brutal days of SEALs in Vietnam, before the teams were a household name . Only drawback in my opinion is the amount of time spent tracking the author's prolific womanizing. I get it - combat is unimaginably demanding, and there are only so many outlets. But there are several occasions in this book where the author describes prostitutes as being excited and enthusiastic to party with him. It comes off as very deluded and self-deceiving, and more than a little gross. A sad waste of words in an otherwise riveting tale.
