Critics Review
“A wonderful, thought-provoking book by Dick Couch and a quick study of human personalities; his conclusions are optimistic and uplifting.” – Vice Admiral James Stockdale (USN. Ret.) Recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor. “The Warrior Elite offers superb insight into the making of a Navy SEAL. Dick Couch takes the reader through the incredible challenges of basic training and into the minds of these unique warriors who comprise our nation’s highly selective fighting force. Having served extensively with Dick in combat as junior officers in Vietnam, I now understand the “how’s and why’s” of his profession and the SEALs’ commitment to mission. The Warrior Elite captures the essence of a Navy SEAL – the indomitable will to win and steadfast commitment to team.” – Robert J. Natter, Admiral, U.S. Navy, Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet
