Aprašymas

A searing exposé of SEAL Team 6, the US military’s most legendary and best-known brand 

“A meticulously crafted corrective aimed at dismantling the dishonest mythology that dominates the public understanding of the most elite fighting force in US history.” ―Jeremy Scahill, New York Times–bestselling author of Blackwater 

The Navy’s SEAL Team 6, in the eyes of many Americans, are the ultimate heroes. Former SEALs rake in cash as leadership consultants, and young military-bound men dream of serving in their ranks. But the SEALs have lost their bearings.

Code Over Country reveals a troubling pattern of war crimes and deep moral rot, enabled, encouraged, and covered up by Navy leadership. From their World War II beginnings, the SEALs trained to be specialized killers, but as the War on Terror progressed, their violence spiraled out of control, turned in every direction: against military enemies, innocent civilians, and even fellow American servicemen.

Code Over Country is an urgent and incisive exposé, investigating the unchecked power of the military—and the dangers of prioritizing brutal performance over American values.
