The U.S. Navy SEALs created a legend that would grow throughout the Vietnam War, earning an enemy bounty to anyone who could capture or kill one. As leader of the SEALs, Captain Robert A. Gormly tells his amazing story, taking us into some of the most hair-raising missions ever assigned.

After a career including two tours of duty in Vietnam as well as top-secret missions in the Persian Gulf, Gormly examines war from a strategic point of view as well as from his own personal experience. In his vivid, gut-wrenching descriptions, the Mekong comes alive, as hours of careful stalking explode into incredible fusillades of violence. Candid, balanced, and tough-minded, Combat Swimmer is a fascinating and thrilling look into the life of an extraordinary kind of fighting man.

      Adams Morgan sounds like "Sea Hunt" star Lloyd Bridges, and that's probably why he's so effective in reading this memoir of a Vietnam-era Navy Seal. Seals are the amphibious Special Forces units recently highlighted in bestselling author Richard Marcinko's ROGUE WARRIOR series. Gormly comments on Marcinko but doesn't share the latter's flamboyance, violence (except in the line of duty), or obsessively foul mouth. Morgan's voice has a clipped, tense quality that serves the book well, even when Gormly is describing bureaucratic military procedures. War scenes include Vietnam and Grenada. D.R.W.
