James "Patches" Watson's Books
The Point Man
Point Man
Written by: James "Patches" Watson and
Kevin Dockery
Chief Petty Officer James "Patches" Watson was there at the
start. One of the first to come out of the famed Underwater Demolition Team 21,
he was an initial member - a "plank owner" - of America's deadliest and most
elite fighting force, the U.S. Navy SEALs. Through three tours in the jungle
hell of Vietnam, he walked the point-staying alert to trip wires, booby traps
and punji pits, guiding his squad of amphibious fighters on missions of rescue,
reconnaissance and demolition - confronting a war's unique terrors head-on,
unprotected.....and unafraid.
This is the story of a hero told from the
heart and from the gut - an authentic tour of duty with one of the most
legendary commandoes of the Vietnam War.
Walking Point
Written by: James "Patches" Watson and Kevin Dockery
Chief James Watson's experiences as a Navy SEAL in Vietnam
thrilled readers in his popular war memoir Point Man. Now, the decorated
SEAL portrayed as "Patches" in Richard Marcinko's Rouge Warrior is back
with more incredible stories of SEAL training and combat in the United States
and around the globe, from the shores of the Mediterranean to the Jungles of
Vietnam.
In Walking Point, Chief Watson recounts the history of
the SEALs, from their inception in 1962 through his three tours of duty in
Vietnam, and discusses the SEALs today. As a SEAL, Chief Watson was part of the
U.S. military's worldwide Special Forces, responsible for fighting
guerrilla-style warfare and training local forces in advanced combat tactics.
One of the first SEALs to come out of the famed Underwater Demolition Team 21,
the chief was awarded sixteen combat decorations, including four Bronze
Stars.
Known for their incredible combat skill, the SEALs are one of the
most elite sectors of the military. This time out, Chief Watson takes readers
along with SEAL Team Two, Sixth Platoon, as they perform treacherous diving
missions, penetrate POW camps, learn how to arm a "baby atom bomb," block
seaborne supply routes, develop intelligence on enemy positions, and interrogate
prisoners.

underway for a daring rescue of four CIA field officers from a heavily guarded
POW junle facility. But this time the enemy knows the SEALs are coming, and
they're ready to repel the assault with everything they've got. A top-secret op
has been blown to smithereens, leaving America's best warriors with only one
recourse: to strike sooner, harder, and to even the long odds with devastating
fury and fire.
