Readers have always been fascinated with the US military's special forces. The Navy SEALS, especially, have captured the imagination of the public. However, not many people realize how the SEALs were formed. Originally, SEALs were underwater divers, dubbed frogmen, who staged demolitions and mapped out enemy territory from the depths of the ocean – oftentimes right underneath the enemy's nose! This book chronicles the daring exploits of the Navy's Underwater Demolition Teams during WWII. Cunnigham relates dozens of harrowing stories of valour, courage, and heroism will finally be told in their own words.
Very few books have been written about the Frogmen of WWII, and the books that have been published don't include first-hand stories. This book in unique in that it is an oral history of the Navy Underwater Demolition Teams, rather than a dry, third-person historical account.
