Publisher's summary
Follow America's elite warriors through the military's most grueling training and learn how they survive real special operations.
Of the 18 months required to become a Navy SEAL, one week will cause over half of the trainees to quit ("ring the bell"). Only the toughest make it through. In Hell Week and Beyond, Scott McEwen takes the listeners to the sands of Coronado Beach in San Diego, where Navy SEALs are put through the most grueling training known to mankind. Grit, commitment, heart, and soul are needed to become a SEAL, because these are the elite forces who go into the toughest battles for America.
Many of the most well-known SEAL warriors have been interviewed for this book, providing the stories of what got them through and the humor of those that made it. (Those that make it almost always have one thing in common: humor. Find out why!)
Part Top Gun, part Bull Durham, this book delivers that goods for those in the know, as well as general listeners who admire the elite forces for all they do.

In the predawn hours of March 4, 2002, just below the 10,000-foot peak of a mountain in eastern Afghanistan, a fierce battle raged. Outnumbered by Al Qaeda fighters, Air Force Combat Controller John Chapman and a handful of SEALs struggled to take the summit in a desperate bid to find a lost teammate. Chapman, leading the charge, was gravely wounded in the initial assault. Believing he was dead, his SEAL leader ordered a retreat. Chapman regained consciousness, alone with the enemy closing in on three sides, beginning the most difficult and exceptional fight of his life.

Wow!
I am so glad we have people that can do this. I’ve always been captivated by SEALs but this book took it to a new level. Just listening to what they go through made me nauseous. I wouldn’t make it past the first hour. We get so blinded by convenience and comfort that we forget what it takes to bring us the safety and comfort we have. I continue to be in awe of their resolve and words cannot do justice to the level of hell they endure. It’s unimaginable. I’m at a new level of gratitude. Thanks for capturing this so well.

Fascinating Story with one caveat
The story itself is fascinating and makes you realize just how far people can push themselves to accomplish a goal. The narrative style is interesting, putting the listener in the shoes of an aspiring Seal. I could have done without the author's snide political commentary.

Extreme immersion
Throughout the book due to performance and writing I was able to FEEL as if I was the Navy Seal going through bud/s or just in his shoes when deciding to make that leap to enlist. The extreme detail given by the author detailing every part of this man's journey helped immerse me into this book. I flinched at the thought of the injuries as if I had experienced them myself. This was a great listen and well written. The lessons learned from this book translates to everyone's life no matter if you're going through military training or not.

I was loving this book until….
The author felt it necessary to dis AOC and incorrectly describe Socialism ie what the Liberals want.
Disappointed!
