Simply put, the best book I've ever read. What's great about this book is that it covers more than just the VN war. It covers a good portion of his personal life experiences and brings in a whole range of emotions beyond just the "action aspect". Having said that, the war stories told are beyond incredible, which makes this a book you can't put down. Good style and easy-to-read. A close second to this book would be the Gone Native book.
Very intense,easy to read book.

I've read dozens of Navy SEAL personal accounts of Vietnam and this ranks up there as one of the best, along with Daryl Young's "Element of Surprise" and Jim Watson's "Point Man". Most of the book deals with his battle experiences. The great thing about the book is that every op was very different and refreshing. There's not a whole lot about his training to make UDT and SEAL Team and there is a chapter or two devoted to his personal life during his Navy career and after but the book flows so well that you find yourself really liking Harry and wanting to read these things. Several chapters at the end dealt with post-nam experiences which weren't all that interesting but the writing is so engrossing for the most part that it'll keep you up at night.

This is an incredible book detailing 3 tours as a seal, and life thereafter. The stories held me captive, and one wonders how someone can make it through these dangerous missions. Compliments to Mr. Constance, he won the war.
