Overview

Silver Star recipient Rick Kaiser shares his leadership lessons from over four decades with the Navy SEAL Teams. A compelling look at US Navy SEALs through a true-to-life lens focused on the triumphs and challenges of the elite warriors of the Special Forces community. Master Chief (SEAL) Rick Kaiser (Ret.) captures over 45 years of events in and around the SEAL Teams. It is not a blood-and-guts portrayal of battlefield victories and losses, but an authentic view of how things are done in the Teams.

Continuing to serve the SEALs as Chief Operating Officer of the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum, Rick is the perfect person to tell the Navy SEAL story the way it really is, sharing the life and leadership lessons he learned along the way. AUTHOR: Rick Kaiser served his country between 1979 and 2013 as a prominent member of SEAL Team TWO and SEAL Team SIX.
