Product Description
With a postscript describing SEAL efforts in Afghanistan, The Warrior Elite takes you into the toughest, longest, and most relentless military
training in the world.
What does it take to become a Navy SEAL? What makes talented, intelligent young men volunteer for physical punishment, cold water, and days without sleep? In The Warrior Elite, former Navy SEAL Dick Couch documents the process that transforms young men into warriors. SEAL training is the distillation of the human spirit, a tradition-bound ordeal that seeks to find men with character, courage, and the burning desire to win at all costs, men who would rather die than quit.

 Excellent. A must read before reading "Lone Survivor" by Marcus Luttrell October 26, 2009
Susan Dulak (West Palm Beach, FL)
I read "Lone Survivor" by Marcus Luttrell first and then found out about this book. I would read this book first. Both are excellent reads and well written. I have a new found respect for our Navy Seals who show profound courage under extreme situations.
I am a 58 year old Grandmother who has a loving nephew serving our wonderful country in Afghanistan.
My love and prayers go out to ALL those who serve in all branches of our armed forces. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Must read for SEALs fans September 17, 2009
JMJ (TX)
I bought this book after reading reviews about the top Navy SEALs books out there, this book was constantly mentioned as one of the top books. This was one of the best books I ever read, period. It really gives you an insight into BUDS training and what these guys go through. I felt connected to the guys in the book, which is a testament to excellent writing. After I finished the book, I found myself re-reading the book again so I could read again about some of the guys who made it all through to the end and graduated with the class. A definite must read, and not only for those aspiring to become a Navy SEAL, I read this book for pure motivation and inspiration to try and be the best at daily life, and be "elite" in my own workouts. I would highly recommend this book, quick, easy read and you won't want to put it down. You find yourself somewhat attached to the guys going through BUDS and you are anxious to see if they make it all the way through. An interesting side note: Marcus Luttrell is in the book. True SEAL fans know his name, he needs no introduction. I won't spoil anything, but when I came across his name in the book, it was kind of a "wow" moment hearing his name b/c the book was written long before Operation Red Wing. Get this book, you'll love it.
