In the Korean War, the Navy UDTs cleared mines and scouted landing sites ahead of the main American forces. After their official founding in 1962 by order of President John F. Kennedy and early covert operations in Cuba, the SEALs came of age in the jungles of Vietnam, where they specialized in executing the most daring missions.

Now many of these quiet professionals, speaking for the first time, reveal what it's like to be the men living on the knife's edge. gives these legendary warriors the epic chronicle they deserve.
