Historia
In April of 1972, near the end of the Vietnam War, SEAL Lieutenant Tom Norris performed an unprecedented ground rescue of two American airmen who were shot down behind enemy lines in North Vietnam, a feat for which he would be awarded the Medal of Honor. Just six months later, Norris was sent on a dangerous special reconnaissance mission that would take his team deep into enemy territory. In the running gun battle that ensued, Lieutenant Norris was severely wounded; a bullet entered his left eye and exited the left side of his head.

Historia
The 15th century saw the longest and bloodiest series of civil wars in British history. The crown of England changed hands five times as two branches of the Plantagenet dynasty fought to the death for the right to rule. Now, celebrated historian Dan Jones describes how the longest reigning British royal family tore itself apart until it was finally replaced by the Tudors. Some of the greatest heroes and villains in history were thrown together in these turbulent times.

Historia
Everyone knows the story of Abraham Lincoln's assassination in 1865, but few are aware of the original conspiracy to kill him four years earlier in 1861, literally on his way to Washington, DC, for his first inauguration. The conspirators were part of a pro-Southern secret society that didn't want an antislavery President in the White House. They planned an elaborate scheme to assassinate the brand new President in Baltimore as Lincoln's inauguration train passed through en route to the Capitol.

Emerging as a market town from a cluster of hill villages in the eighth and seventh centuries B.C., Rome grew to become the ancient world's preeminent power. Everitt fashions the story of Rome's rise to glory into an erudite book filled with lasting lessons for our time. He chronicles the clash between patricians and plebeians that defined the politics of the Republic. He shows how Rome's shrewd strategy of offering citizenship to her defeated subjects was instrumental in expanding the reach of her burgeoning empire.

Code-named the Studies and Observations Group, SOG was the most secret elite US military unit to serve in the Vietnam War - so secret that its very existence was denied by the government.

Taking place during the most critical period of our nation’s birth, The First Conspiracy tells a remarkable and previously untold piece of American history that not only reveals George Washington’s character, but also illuminates the origins of America’s counterintelligence movement that led to the modern day CIA. In 1776, an elite group of soldiers were handpicked to serve as George Washington’s bodyguards. Washington trusted them; relied on them. But unbeknownst to Washington, some of them were part of a treasonous plan.

At 6:00 a.m. on the morning of October 3, 2009, Combat Outpost Keating was viciously attacked by Taliban insurgents. The 53 U.S. troops, having been stationed at the bottom of three steep mountains, were severely outmanned by nearly 400 Taliban fighters. Though the Americans ultimately prevailed, their casualties made it one of the war's deadliest battles for U.S. forces. And after more than three years in that dangerous and vulnerable valley a mere 14 miles from the Pakistan border, the U.S. abandoned and bombed the camp.

Resumen del Editor
The SEALs created a legend that would grow throughout the war -- and earn an enemy bounty for anyone who could capture or kill a US Navy SEAL. But behind the myth and mystique was a remarkable fighting machine, a team of soldiers who knew their job and maintained their discipline in the face of firefighters, ambushes, and missions gone horribly wrong. In Gormly's vivid, gut-wrenching descriptions, the Mekong comes alive, as hours of careful stalking explode into incredible fusillades of violence -- including one in which Gormly's hand was nearly shot off. His unprecedented acts of heorism and daring brought Gormly recognition as well as numerous awards for both the success of his strikes and his ability to bring his men back alive.
In a career that included two tours of duty in Vietnam, as well as top-secret missions in the Persian Gulf, Gormly examines war from a strategic point of view as well as from his own personal experience. With insight and eloquence, he goes on to chronicle SEAL life after Vietnam, including what is perhaps the most graphic description ever of SEAL action in the chaotic invasion of Grenada.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Bob Gormly tells his story with remarkable wit, wisdom, drama, and grace. Combat Swimmer is a superb and fascinating story about the US Navy SEALs, from one of the best of the breed." (Hans Halberstadt, author of Inside the US Navy SEALs)

Developed specifically for the Vietnam War, Swift Boats were versatile craft "big enough to outrun anything they couldn't outfight" but too small to handle even a moderate ocean chop, too loud to sneak up on anyone, and too flimsy to withstand the mildest of rocket attacks. This made more difficult an already tough mission: navigating coastal waters for ships and sampans smuggling contraband to the Viet Cong, disrupting enemy supply lines on the rivers and canals of the Mekong Delta, and inserting SEALs behind enemy lines.

In the northern part of the country, the US-supported Northern Alliance has made progress on the battlefield, but in the south, the country is still under the Taliban's bloody hold and al-Qa'ida continues to operate there. With no "Southern Alliance" for the US to support, a new strategy is needed if victory is to be achieved. Veteran CIA officer Duane Evans is dispatched to Pakistan to "get something going in the South." Foxtrot in Kandahar is his story.

America had many heroes in World War II; however, few can say that, but for them, the course of the war would have been very different. The right men, the right place, the right time - Dog Company.

Book is good. Narration is ok.
I loved the story and the details that it filled in for me about SEAL history. I couldn’t stand it when the narrator pronounced the short version of helicopter as “hello” instead of “heelo.” His voice and diction were impeccable. I followed along well. I just couldn’t take another mispronounced military term.

Good book, not the best reading
As a fan of military history I enjoy the story’s and info the book provides, however the problem I have with audible books is that often the reader mispronounces common military slang or acronyms, and it is like nails on the proverbial chalkboard. How much extra effort would it take to consult or a quick google search to verify pronunciations of names and places and acronyms used. For example instead of saying, “M S G T” one simply says master Sargent, or “C A R 15”, is pronounced as “car fifteen”. Just minor annoyances that do take away from the overall enjoyment but for a free book the story is still excellent and worth the listen.

NOT an Audible Kids book!
Not sure why Audible Kids intros and exits the reading. Definitely not a kids story. Awesome history of an Operator from his Vietnam thru O6/Captain commands and staff assignments.

Overall, a good choice
This was the first audiobook I've ever purchased and not a bad introduction at all. I'm no stranger to the genre, however. Go into it expecting the memoir that it is, not an edge-of-your-seat thriller or a technical readout of SEAL equipment. It was an intelligently written story worth telling, especially to provide additional perspective on significant American military events of the late 20th century, such as our attack on Grenada.
I found the author's tone positive, humble, very respectful, and extremely professional-surely a credit to the field in which the author has spent a distinguished career. This was certainly admirable, given the material about Marcinko. Indeed a refreshing perspective for fans of the genre.
Contrary to another listener's perspective, I was satisfied with the amount of material devoted to the author's experience at BUD/S, as that can be found anywhere, and more graphically.
I gave it three out of five stars, for two reasons. First, as noted, the narration was truly disappointing. This guy not only lacked the 'tough guy voice' that admittedly would have helped, he sounded like he should be reading ‘Crochet Monthly’ in a comfortable sweater, right after his manicure and vanilla latte with extra whip cream. This guy was the WRONG choice, which severely betrayed the subject matter. Not only that, he was just plain boring. He, not the story, made me laugh several times. Second, while it was a very satisfying book, it was simply not something I couldn't put down. Gormly's perspective on what America did wrong in Vietnam was a strong point, lucid, concise and probably very accurate. I enjoyed his perspective, as I have yet to come across another so digestible. Yet it was this very opining that left a bad taste in my mouth at the end. His political analysis of America's future problems was mundane, repetitive, and should be pretty obvious to the average news-watching citizen during the last twenty years.

Leadership lessons applicable to all . . .
Outstanding listening!!!! It?s like riding a roller coaster. Turns, twists and excitement is felt within the first 10 minutes. However, once the ride is over, you better understand what it means to lead people in trying times. Combat Swimmer is an excellent story. Its also a wonderful lesson on leading people. Great Writing!!!!!

Listen Inside Delta Force instead
Without the occasional jarring bloodlust and jingoism this would be a good book. The epilogue shows impressive foresight on the islamist problem, but the bits about the war on drugs dates the author.

Painful
Narrator did terribly in my opinion. Story was amazing but I feel if some one is going to read a military type story they should do some research so they can read it at least in a matter that military personnel can stand to listen.
