Book excerpt: From the shores of Normandy to the jungles of Vietnam to the deserts of the Middle East, the Navy SEALs and their predecessors have played a pivotal role in warfare-and in the development of modern military technology. Renowned as much for their technical prowess as their deadly skill in combat, the SEALs have not only been the first to test weapons in the field, they have also expertly modified and refined them according to the demands of battle, making them their own. This painstakingly researched volume covers the armament and ammunition that have served the SEALs, tracing each weapon from the development stage to its current form. Also included are exclusive accounts from those who first witnessed these weapons in action. Written with the cooperation of the men who used the weapons and the manufacturers who made them, and packed with detailed information and photos, this book offers fresh insight into the technology that has sustained the Navy SEALs as an unstoppable military force for decades-and continues to make them the most dangerous warriors in the world.
