Great action in SEALS IN ACTION. This 314 page hardback by Kevin Dockery was published in 1991. From the DJ we read, "In 1944, before wet suits, swim fins and scuba equipment; before waterproof watches and compasses were commonplace; before anyone knew what to expect from special unit missions-and men-operating underwater, the U.S. Navy had a handful of daring UDTs (Underwater Demolition Teams) carrying out missions along the coasts of the Pacific islands prior to invasions by Marine and Army units. These UDT 'crazies' were the forerunners of today's SEALs, perhaps the toughest, most specialized warriors in the world. Much of what they accomplish goes unheralded. But SEALs and their UDT forebears have gone where the action was-and usually arrived first-since the invasion of Kwajalien Aton in the Marshall Islands in WWII. Now, SEALs  in Action gives these men their due. Korea, Vietnam, Panama, Grenada. The SEALs were there. When terrorists hijacked the cruise ship Achilles Lauro, the SEALs were ready. When the Middle East blew up, SEALs were there too. They have made significant contributions in non-combatant roles as well. When America's space program was in its infancy, SEAl volunteers, because of their extraordinary physical conditioning, were prime subjects for experiments involving response to G-forces and weightlessness. They were the first to greet returning astronauts as they secured the space capsule with flotation collars and opened its hatch. UDT swimmers accompanied the first nuclear submarines to venture beneath the Arctic icecap. In SEALs in Action, you'll meet the men who volunteer-and learn what it takes to earn the Trident insignia they wear with justifiable pride. You'll get thorough details on their weaponry, their gear and their mission in today's Navy. Plus, you'll get as much declassified information as is available on their role in the controversial Vietnam Phoenix program and the ultra-secret SEAL Team 6, whose existence the Navy is reluctant to admit!"
