On the moonless night of May 2, 2011, two Black Hawk helicopters crossed the border from Afghanistan into Pakistan. Crowded into each helicopter cabin were members of the U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six. These were some of the most highly trained special operations forces in the world. The mission of SEAL Team Six was to hunt down the world's most wanted terrorist—Osama bin Laden. However, bin Laden had successfully escaped capture for more than ten years. Would SEAL Team Six finally be able to get him? In this gripping book, young readers will meet the fearless soldiers who serve our country, and also get an inside look at how they train for, and carry out, their dangerous missions. From rescuing hostages to capturing terrorists, no job is too tough for SEAL Team Six. Large, full-color photos and dramatic real-life stories will keep kids turning the pages to learn more.

      Gr 3-6-Each title begins with an attention-grabbing critical situation. For example, Navy SEAL opens with the mission to find Osama bin Laden. Subsequent chapters, all very short, explain the special teams' duties, history, qualifications, and training. The titles end with spreads highlighting specific gear. The books are light on narrative and include text boxes of information ("The CIA teaches its ops different languages, so that they can communicate with people in foreign countries") and maps. They are heavy on aptly captioned color photos. Overall, a well-designed set, though dealing with violent careers.
