Seal!
(1996)From Vietnam's Phoenix Program to Central America's Drug Wars
A non fiction book by Greg Walker
A MAN OF ACTION
This is the extraordinary story of Lt. Cmdr. Michael J. Walsh, a veteran of twenty-six years of combat with the Navy's most elite special force -- the legendary SEALs. Outspoken renegade and consummate survivalist, Walsh began as a key player in the Vietnam War's top-secret PHOENIX Program. For a PHOENIX operative the goal was simple: invade the enemy's home and take him captive; remove the target alive if possible, dead if necessary. The Viet Cong soon feared Walsh so much that they placed a bounty of thousands of dollars on his head.
A MAN OF WAR
After five tours in Vietnam, Walsh refused to take a desk job, and subsequently spent more than two decades in combat in such explosive arenas as Lebanon and drug-infested Central America. From killing a VC general in hand-to-hand combat, to stalking anti-war activist Jane Fonda, to combing the streets of Beirut in search of his friend and former PHOENIX advisor William Buckley, Walsh and his unforgettable exploits stand alone as the pinnacle of daring and sacrifice in the storied history of the SEALs.
