ABOUT THE BOOK
Chuck Pfarrers book is a departure from the norm. It claims to be the first authoritative, inside account of legendary Navy SEAL Team Six, a group so elite that fellow SEALs call them Jedis. It is also the first time details of a SEAL operation have been made public. Previously, such information was secret. Because the SEAL Teams were created, along with the Armys Green Berets, at the direction of President John F. Kennedy, this book breaks a silence held dear by SEAL personnel for half a century.
Not everyone approves. US Special Operations Command spokesman Col. Tim Nye has said... Its just not true. Its not how it happened. Even more accusatory, Nye also says its a lie and factually far off the mark.

EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK
The training period to earn a Navy SEAL qualification of combat swimmer, is two-and-a-half years. In addition to this, SEAL Team Six operators have decades of experience, all of which came to use at Abbotabad, Pakistan, on May 1, 2011. On this date, Navy SEALs leaped from helicopters into the high-walled compound of Osama bin Laden.
No one in Abbotabad imagined Osama bin Laden was being interdicted, because no one knew he lived there. Nearby, the large military base where many of Pakistans highest ranking officers were stationed was caught unaware. Their secret guest had been found.
