McRaven commands a team of SEALS, the Navy's elite spec ops force. Accomplishing the seemingly impossible is the day-to-day business of McRaven & his SEALs & other spec ops around the world. The secret is: get on target fast & maintain relative superiority throughout the area of vulnerability. It worked when the Germans clobbered the Belgians at Ft. Eben Emael before they knew what hit them. It worked when the Israelis dropped in at Entebbe & executed the perfect prisoner rescue. Spec ops forces beat the odds because their preparation, firepower, speed on target, & moral commitment give them the ultimate edge over their opponents.
