Hell Week and Beyond

The Making of a Navy SEAL

By: Scott McEwen

Narrated by: 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 readers 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 readers 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!

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.

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.

Brilliant!!! Absolutely brilliant!!!!

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