NEW YORK — A US Navy SEAL has released a tell-all book detailing the daring raid into Syria last month by the Army’s highly secretive Delta Force. The book, “Silent Warriors” by Lt. Cmdr. Hal Jacobs, discussed the raid that resulted in the death of ISIS resource minister Abu Sayyaf and the capture of his wife, according to Jacobs' publicist.

“Honestly I just felt that it was a story that needed to be told,” Jacobs told Duffel Blog, about why he decided to write about a raid that neither he nor any other SEALs were involved with. “I’m sure there was a lot of emotion and personal grit that went into the execution of this mission, and I wanted to be the one to capture that for the public before someone else did."

Jacobs addressed early accusations that his entire book is basically a work of fiction since he had absolutely nothing to do with the mission or Delta Force, and hasn’t worked on an active SEAL team since 2007, sources reported.
