“You have to be a bit crazy to be a SEAL…Clint Emerson takes us on
a roller-coaster ride through his career as he demonstrates the
‘the kind’ of craziness that’s required. Buckle your seat belt and
be prepared…Clint doesn’t mince words or suffer fools kindly, and
cares even less about being politically correct.”—H. Keith Melton,
author of Ultimate Spy
“A riveting look inside the inner workings of the SEAL team
culture. This is not your ordinary memoir—it’s a fast-paced and
hilarious real-life glimpse into what career frogmen experience. A
must-read, instant classic.” —Mike Ritland, former Navy SEAL and
host of Mike Drop podcast
“Emerson’s book is a must-read. After rebellious years as a youth,
he persevered to become a U.S. Navy SEAL. His journey reads like
fiction, but it’s satisfying nonfiction narrative of a credible
operator…Doing the gritty work of a SEAL in combat zones, Emerson
refined the art and tradecraft of sensitive operations elsewhere in
the Middle East—a euphemism for high-risk, quiet operational
work—in the shadows.” —Chris Costa, Executive Director,
International Spy Museum; Deputy Commander, SMU; former Special
Assistant to the President for Counterterrorism
