SEAL Team 6 became synonymous with heroism, duty, and justice. Only a handful of the elite men who make up the SEALs, the US Navy's best and bravest, survive the legendary and grueling selection process that leads to becoming a member of Team 6, a group so classified it technically does not even exist. There are no better warriors on Earth.
Don Mann knows what it takes to be a brother in this ultra-selective fraternity. As a member of Seal Team Six for over eight years and a SEAL for over seventeen years, he worked in countless covert operations, operating from land, sea, and air, and facing shootings, decapitations, and stabbings. He was captured by the enemy and lived to tell the tale, and he participated in highly classified missions all over the globe, including Somalia, Panama, El Salvador, Colombia, Afghanistan, and Iraq. As a coordinator for several civilian SEAL training programs, and as a former Training Officer of SEAL Team Six, he was directly responsible for shaping the bodies and minds of SEALs who carried out the assassination of Osama bin Laden.
But to become a SEAL, Mann had to overcome his own troubled childhood and push his body to its breaking point--and beyond. INSIDE SEAL TEAM 6 is a high octane narrative of physical and mental toughness, giving unprecedented insight to the inner workings of the training and secret missions of the world's most respected and feared combat unit. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

Thank goodness for Chief Mann!Dec 03, 2011
By Pappy As a retired Army Special Forces operator I've read and continue to enjoy reading books from the other Services' special operations forces. I'd read "SEAL Target Geronimo" several weeks ago and had, frankly, sworn I'd not read another SEAL authored book for some time to come given how poorly it was written and how, IMHO, misguided the former ST6 author was to have written it at all.
I discovered Don Mann's book while changing planes on a recent trip and on a hunch bought it.
Don and his co-author offer a great story and an intense read. There's something for everyone in this book and more than a few highly personal / motivational insights and "lessons learned". Don's good-natured (mostly) digs at us "Green Berets" reminded me of all the equally good-natured (mostly) shots we enjoyed and still enjoy taking at our SEAL brothers. His hard-earned and totally objective view of how we in Special Operations view the loss of our teammates in training brought back a few memories and reminders, as well.
I was surprised the author team did not simply provide the Navy's reviewers with material showing that much of what is redacted (to a distracting degree while reading the book) was and is previously available in the public and should have been left in the book. This takes a little time to research and compile but letting the reviewers get nearly everything they wanted was absurd, especially toward the ending. If not completely clean for publication I'd like to have seen Don and Mr. Pezzullo rewrite the objected to material in such a way it would have conveyed what the author wanted to convey without necessarily compromise.
It the "black bars of secrecy" were left in for some form of spooky effect they, IMHO, failed to do more than cause the chapters affected to lose their otherwise tenor, tone, and high energy pace. Please don't do this again!
Most of all this, to me, helped in a positive way to blunt the earlier book mentioned. Chief Mann was clearly a monster on the midway, a dedicated warrior and SEAL operator with a lifetime of credentials and experiences, and a man whose own story and stories about others can and will inspire people from all walks of life.
For a SEAL Don didn't do too bad with his first literary effort :) I hope there is more to come.
De Oppresso Liber!

ConfusedNov 28, 2011
By Caiser A word of warning, whole sections of this book, including chapter titles and in some cases whole pages, have been redacted. While I understand the preface at the beginning provides a reasoning, it severely hurt my ability to read, follow, and most importantly enjoy Mr. Mann's work. On top of that, obvious things, like the name "Delta" or " Nightstalkers 160th S.O.A.R." have been blacked out. These are things that seem to almost be common knowledge. While there are some entertaining personal anecdotes of Mr. Mann's youth and stories of training missions (the chapter about selection into ST-6 is mostly blacked out), don't pick up this book hoping for a nuts and bolts detailed description of DEVGRU or the SEALs.

I can't read black bars :(Nov 28, 2011
By Brant Bickhaus Don't buy unless you have figured out how to read black bars. I understand and appreciate the need for OPSEC but this is ridiculous. Whole paragraphs are blocked out for no apparent reason. Why bother publishing a book if you are just going to redact half of it. This will teach me to pre-order a book. Let me be the sucker this time and spend your hard earned dollars elsewhere!

Unreadable.Dec 07, 2011
By USNGunner Having served with and supported NSW since the early 80's, and done some ops with the subject of this book, I understand security. But the redacting in this book makes it unreadable. Entire chapters are redacted, and are useless. I would have rather they just left the subject out and made what was there coherent. Changed operators names, dates, etc to make the book readable.
Don't waste your money, it's not worth it.

Impossible to listen toJan 06, 2012
By D. Couts
"DRC"
I attempted to listen to this book in the audio CD version. I have never, ever heard so many words and terms, even those that would seem to be benign "bleeped out". It makes listening almost impossible - and certainly very undesirable to listen to. If you are going to write a book like this, make sure its readable (or listenable). If too much of this material is too classified to write about - don't. My criticism of this book is in no way a reflection on my incredible admiration and respect for all our military men and women. This was the most frustrating book of this topic I have ever attempted to listen to. I can only hope the written version was more acceptable to the readers!
