The Real Team

New York, NY, U.S.A.: Pocket Books, 2000. Mass Market Paperback. Near Fine. First Edition. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. 8 pages of B&W photos. ROGUE WARRIOR is a follow-up title to the author's autobiography and fictional series with the same name. Here, the real-life Navy SEALS portrayed in the novels report on challenging missions as members of collaborative U.S. military forces. Here, for the first time the real life models for such characters as Indian Jew, Duck foot Dewey, and Prince Valiant recount their journeys from the civilian world to BUD/S training, their first experiences under fire, and how they turned from newbies to seasoned veterans, from loyal U.S. servicemen to Rogue Warriors whose only rule was that the Warrior does not give up. Ever. The Real Team reveals the Rogue Warrior's secrets for team selection and team maintenance. From setting up an ambush to making a HAHO -- high altitude, high opening -- parachute jump, from the Philippines to Desert Storm, the stories are about real men and real missions, and about the SEAL mentality of teamwork, training, loyalty, and never-say-die aggression. For it is the spirit of the real Teams that shaped these extraordinary individuals and positioned them for success -- in every battlefield and every endeavor they would face in life. 272 pages.
