Resumen del Editor

These are the first Navy SEALs - learn the stories of their fearless courage in WW2.

Hollywood tends to have a romantic vision of the way war works. War is hell. This book takes a look at one aspect that has gained little attention in the modern age, the Underwater Demolition Teams, also known as the UDT. The brave men that signed up for these early teams faced real dangers that many of the modern Special Forces teams face, without much of the equipment that is carried. For many of them it was a death sentence. These were the first Navy SEALs.

Find out about the early pioneers in the field from Italy. While the Italians were not on the Allied side in WWII, their ideas paved the way for other countries to develop their own teams. Italy had a different method that included torpedoes.

UDT’s weren’t just all about blowing things up. They also played a vital role in recon missions. Sneaking onto beaches and landing sites was dangerous work that they willingly accepted in order to help others land safely. Listen about about their daring New Year’s Eve mission that could have saved hundreds of lives.

When called to, they enjoyed the thrill of clearing the path for other soldiers and Marines hitting the beaches, much like modern-day Rangers. This was a deadly and dangerous business though. While you may have heard about the Marines being the first boots on the ground, for many battles it was the UDT that blew the obstacles out of the way for them first!

Grab a copy of this book and see how the first Navy SEALs fought in World War 2.
