Hell Week and Beyond

The Making of a Navy SEAL

De: Scott McEwen

Narrado por: Kiff VandenHeuvel

Follow America's elite warriors through the military's most grueling training and learn how they survive real special operations.

Of the 18 months required to become a Navy SEAL, one week will cause over half of the trainees to quit ("ring the bell"). Only the toughest make it through. In Hell Week and Beyond, Scott McEwen takes the listeners to the sands of Coronado Beach in San Diego, where Navy SEALs are put through the most grueling training known to mankind. Grit, commitment, heart, and soul are needed to become a SEAL, because these are the elite forces who go into the toughest battles for America.

Many of the most well-known SEAL warriors have been interviewed for this book, providing the stories of what got them through and the humor of those that made it. (Those that make it almost always have one thing in common: humor. Find out why!)

Part Top Gun, part Bull Durham, this book delivers that goods for those in the know, as well as general listeners who admire the elite forces for all they do.

Absolutely a must read!

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audiobook! I could feel the cold the sand and the pain!

Awesome book

Loved the book. Great story. Great narration. 2 nd person perspective was a neat way to write the book. Made you feel like you were apart of hell week.

Intense and a must read

This book was intense to say the least. if you're thinking about making an attempt at joining the Navy Seals, READ THIS BOOK! If you're someone struggling with mindset, READ THIS BOOK!

Fascinating Story with one caveat

The story itself is fascinating and makes you realize just how far people can push themselves to accomplish a goal. The narrative style is interesting, putting the listener in the shoes of an aspiring Seal. I could have done without the author's snide political commentary.

feelings

another great book about going through hell week and helping you feel like you're in the surf. looking for more books to listen to about others unique experiences

Wow!

I am so glad we have people that can do this. I’ve always been captivated by SEALs but this book took it to a new level. Just listening to what they go through made me nauseous. I wouldn’t make it past the first hour. We get so blinded by convenience and comfort that we forget what it takes to bring us the safety and comfort we have. I continue to be in awe of their resolve and words cannot do justice to the level of hell they endure. It’s unimaginable. I’m at a new level of gratitude. Thanks for capturing this so well.

Brilliant!!! Absolutely brilliant!!!!

What a spectacular book. Could not stop listening from start to finish. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Great listen

I got through this book really fast. Was interesting and engaging from start to finish.

Extreme immersion

Throughout the book due to performance and writing I was able to FEEL as if I was the Navy Seal going through bud/s or just in his shoes when deciding to make that leap to enlist. The extreme detail given by the author detailing every part of this man's journey helped immerse me into this book. I flinched at the thought of the injuries as if I had experienced them myself. This was a great listen and well written. The lessons learned from this book translates to everyone's life no matter if you're going through military training or not.

I was loving this book until….

The author felt it necessary to dis AOC and incorrectly describe Socialism ie what the Liberals want.
Disappointed!
