In 14 years as a SEAL officer, Lieutenant Commander Denver has tangled with drug lords in Latin America, stood up to violent mobs in Liberia and battled terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan (earning the Bronze Star with V for valor and other top commendations). He has also served as flag aide to the admiral-in-charge. He is now at SEAL headquarters in Coronado, California, where he has directed all phases of the basic and advanced training that prepare men for war in SEAL teams. He is currently executive officer of the Navy Special Warfare Center's Advanced Training Command. Telegenic and articulate, he is often asked to represent the SEALs with the media, the military and top government leaders. He is a former All-American college athlete (Syracuse lacrosse) and is married with two daughters. ELLIS HENICAN is a columnist at Newsday and an on-air commentator at the Fox News Channel. He has written two recent New York Times bestsellers, Home Team with New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton and In the Blink of an Eye with NASCAR legend Michael Waltrip.
"Here is the rare book that changes the lives of young men and the
views of older ones. Intense, riveting, inspiring and humbling.
Damn few make it. Damn few can do what the SEALs do."--Hugh
Hewitt
"If you've ever wished you could read the testament of a Jedi
knight, here it is. Damn Few takes us inside the mind of a born
warrior. LtCdr Denver has trained SEALs and led them in combat. He
tells us what it takes to reach the super-elite level, why he does
it, what it means to him, what he thinks the future holds. This is
timeless stuff, worthy of being read in the era of Caesar,
Alexander, Leonidas--or a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far
away."--Steven Pressfield, author of Gates of Fire and The War of
Art
