Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A fascinating look at the skill and guts these men displayed under fire.” —The Virginian-Pilot
“[Gormly] is a warrior for the working day…in a harsh world, it will comfort many to know that men with Gormly’s spirit, character and patriotism wear this country’s uniform.” —Publishers Weekly
“Adams Morgan sounds like Sea Hunt star Lloyd Bridges, and that's probably why he’s so effective in reading this memoir of a Vietnam-era Navy SEAL…Morgan’s voice has a clipped, tense quality that serves the book well.” —AudioFile
“Offering the perspective of both a front-line combatant and a senior commander and special operations policymaker, [Gormly’s] book is full of gripping accounts of parachuting, diving, and firefights, and it adds to our knowledge of his fellow SEALs.” —Booklist
“Suspense filled…A candid and unstinting military memoir.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Bob Gormly tells his story with remarkable wit, wisdom, drama, and grace. Combat Swimmer is a superb and fascinating story about the US Navy SEALs, from one of the best of the breed.” —Hans Halberstadt, author of US Navy SEALs
