America's elite warriors are put through hell in training so they can survive any real special operations. Hell Week and Beyond will take the reader to the sands of Coronado Beach in San Diego, where Navy SEALS are put through the most grueling training known to mankind. Of the 18 months required to become a SEAL, one week will cause over half of the trainees to quit "ring the bell." Only the toughest make it through, and in this book McEwen will interview those who do and those who don't. Grit, commitment, heart, and soul are needed to become a Navy SEAL because these are the elite forces who go into the toughest battles for America. Many of the most well known SEAL warriors will be interviewed for this book and provide the stories of what got them through and the humor of those that made it. Those that make it almost always have one thing in common: humor. Find out why! Part Top Gun, part Bull Durham, the book will deliver the goods for those in the know and general readers who admire the elite forces for all they do.

Scott McEwen is a trial attorney in San Diego, California. He grew up in the mountains of Eastern Oregon where he became an Eagle Scout; hiking, fishing, and hunting at every opportunity presented. He obtained his undergraduate degree in Oregon and thereafter studied and worked extensively in London, England. Scott works with and provides support for several military charitable organizations, including the Seal Team Foundation. Scott's interest in military history, intense patriotism, and experience with long-range hunting rifles, compelled him to accurately record the battlefield experiences of Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in United States military history.
