About this ebook
"Fractions of a second in time. What amazing violence can be meted out in the blink of an eye."
In the mid-nineteen sixties, Harry Constance made a life-altering journey that led him out of Texas and into the jungles of Vietnam. As a young naval officer, he went from UDT training to the U.S. Navy's newly formed SEAL Team Two, and then straight into furious action. By 1970, he was already the veteran of three hundred combat missions and the recipient of thirty-two military citations, including three Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart.
Good To Go is Constance's powerful, firsthand account of his three tours of duty as a member of America's most elite, razor-sharp stealth fighting force. It is a breathtaking memoir of harrowing missions and covert special-ops—from the floodplains of the Mekong Delta to the beaches of the South China Sea—that places the reader in the center of bloody ambushes and devastating firefights. But his extraordinary adventure goes even farther—beyond 'Nam—as we accompany Constance and the SEALs on astonishing missions to some of the world's most dangerous hot-spots . . . and experience close-up the courage, dedication, and unparalleled skill that made the U.S. Navy SEALs legendary.
Includes 8 Pages of SEAL Team Action Photos!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is an incredible book. It is one of the most informative and well told personal accounts of the Vietnam War. It's easily the best book I've read, on the subject, since "Chicken Hawk".
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5It's the second book about navy seals in Vietnam I read and while this author appears to revel in the killing less it's still a very similar story devoid of any introspection. At no point does the author considered what he was doing or the conduct of the troops. Closest he gets is to mention that soldiers in Vietnam stole from the military (of course the author did not) and that Vietnamese soldiers were cowardly and officers corrupt. Project phoenix? Total success! No idea what all the fuss was about.
