Reviews
Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
The second book by one of the U.S. Navy's legendary SEALS' founding fathers (and his writing partner Dockery) is more thematic than his Vietnam memoir Point Man (1993). It ranges over the things Watson did, saw, and was during 20 years in the navy: training green officers (sometimes without their knowing it) and Turks (hard cases), using nuclear demolitions charges, handling personal peculiarities, developing and deploying a wide variety of weapons from an almost equally wide variety of riverine craft in Vietnam, and surviving both the peacetime and wartime hazards of being a SEAL. Watson did survive, which is fortunate not only because his books are absorbing documents of a legendary special warfare unit but also because he is one of those invaluable noncoms for whom junior officers and the taxpayers should nightly give thanks--they are that important to building and maintaining effective armed forces.
