Synopsis: In Walking Point, Chief Watson recounts the history of the SEALs, from their inception in 1962 through his three tours of duty in Vietnam, and discusses the SEALs today. As a SEAL, Chief Watson was part of the U.S. military's worldwide Special Forces, responsible for fighting guerrilla-style warfare and training local forces in advanced combat tactics. Known for their incredible combat skill, the SEALs are one of the most elite sectors of the military. This time out, Chief Watson takes readers along with SEAL Team Two, Sixth Platoon, as they perform treacherous diving missions, penetrate POW camps, learn how to arm a "baby atom bomb," block seaborne supply routes, develop intelligence on enemy positions, and interrogate prisoners. Library Journal: In Point Man (Avon, 1995), Watson thrilled readers with his harrowing account of his experiences as a Navy SEAL in Vietnam. A dauntless platoon chief (portrayed as the legendary "Patches" Watson in the books by best-selling author Richard Marcinko), Watson recounts in his latest work the history of the SEALs, detailing their missions around the world and the intense SEAL training programs. He brings the reader to the forefront of each SEAL assignment as he describes treacherous missions in pitch-black waters, pinpointing the location of a Vietnamese POW camp, and learning to arm a "baby atomic bomb." The work is packed with excitement that will please military enthusiasts. Recommended for military history and Vietnam War collections.Michael Coleman, Regional Lib. for Blind & Physically Handicapped, Montgomery, Ala.
