Ass-kicking Navy SEAL, C.E.O. of SOS Temps, Inc., and graduate-level business instructor Richard Marcinko, a.k.a. Dick Marcinko, a.k.a. Demo Dick, a.k.a. Shark Man of the Delta, is one of the toughest men ever to serve our country.  His best selling Rogue Warrior series and other fine writings have solidified the Military literature genre and not only advanced its technical vocabulary, but has no less restructured the military memoir narrative as we know it.

Demo Dick is raw.  So is the truth - the truth about war.  "In Vietnam, I'd discovered who could kill and who couldn't in combat.  But that was fifteen years ago, and less than half of SEAL Team Six had ever been in combat.  So there was only one way to find out who'd pull the trigger, and who'd freeze - which was to play this thing out and see who did his job and who didn't.  War, after all, is not Nintendo.  War is not about technology or toys.  War is about killing..." he writes.  Dick Marcinko tells it how it is.
