Bronze Star (Seals: The Warrior Breed, Book 3) [Mass Market Paperback]

H. Jay Riker (Author)

Book Description

Series: Seals, the Warrior Breed | Publication Date: December 1, 1995

When Duty Calls

The face of war is rapidly changing, calling America's soldiers into hellish regions where conventional warriors dare not go. From the Mekong to the U-Minh forest, this is the world of the SEALs -- an unparallelled fighting force trained in every aspect of survival, infiltration and silent death, rising like a Pheonix from the glorius flames of the Navy's crack Underwater Demolition Team. But Vietnam is a virulent new strain of jungle conflict -- where enemy and ally can be the same . . . where lives and lies are merely disposable pieces in unscrupulous political games. Yet the SEALs know that this is a war that can be won -- if they are allowed to fight it their way.

5.0 out of 5 stars excuse me, HOO-YAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, July 30, 1997

This review is from: Bronze Star (Seals: The Warrior Breed, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is as close as a person can get to being a SEAL without going through BUD/S! Let the butt-kicking commence as the US Navy SEALs plunge into the Rung-Sat Special Zone in the Delta led by a Maverick XO named Mariacher(pronounced Myokker). The war can be won if the SEALs of Teams 1 and 2 can fight it their way. It's a battle that rages in the jungle between Charlie and the SEALs and at MAC-V and the Pentagon between the SEALs and the REMFs. Who will win? Read it and find one of the best fiction novels ever written about the courage, tenacity, and true ass-kicking strength of the US Navy SEALs

5.0 out of 5 stars Bronze Star is a delve into the minds of combat worn soldier, March 5, 1999

This review is from: Bronze Star (Seals: The Warrior Breed, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is one that should be rated as a classic for all of the people that enjoy really well written war stories of our times. Even though tthe story is not based on true life accounts, this book really impressed me. I bought the book about 2 years ago and have read, and reread it many a time. I feel that this book really represents how a man will react in such a hostile environment. Lt. Baxter learns how to cope with himself in such hellish reality. If you are considering a career in the military, you should really read this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Read, January 10, 2010

Had a beloved uncle that was a seal, died in Vietnam so I read a number of books like this. I really enjoyed this one and will read the others in the sequence. Reminded me of W.E.B. Griffin's writing. Recommended, also recommend "First Seal", by Roy Boehm, though this one is non-fiction.
