This book offers alot to everyone, not just people in the military like myself. But speaking as a member of the military NCO channel, this book is a book that every leader, Enlisted or officer, should read. It will set your standards straight no matter how straight you think you are. It offers a great deal of action as well as intellect.
Great Read August 23, 2010

This is a great book. You dont have know anything about the army to really appreciate this book and the time the author put into writing it. I served two tours in a combat zone and this guy really knows what he is talking about. I recommend for every leader wheather you are in corprate America or in the service this is a must!!

This book has the content that I have been looking for but unable to find for a long time. I hope that more authors follow this type of writing. I'm always trying to learn life lessons from great men. Pete Blaber is a great man and also thinks along these lines and has done more than tell a story; he has shared the life lessons he has learned in his years and experince of life and as a Delta Force comander.
Excellent war story and even more beautiful book on leadership and management July 12, 2010
G. E. Kugler (Big Arm, Montana United States)
I found this book to be outstanding in its simplicity and its lessons. The Author has certainly been there and done that and doesn't mind telling it like it is. The book flows from the significant lessons the Author learned in his years in Spec Op's leading secret missions. His message of identifying the mission, clearly and using your creativity to deliver results is outstanding. His message on 'his men' and putting them next and taking care of and more importantly listening to them is even more important. Enjoyed the book immensely and found his lessons quite applicable to the business world for sure. Excellent read.
 Should be required reading... May 24, 2010
El Guapo (CA United States)
Good entertaining read. Valuable lessons that should be required reading for all military leaders and civilian policy makers. It is pretty sad to hear that among our nations military leaders ego gets in the way of most decisions. Nobody wants to take the responsibility for making bold decisions, and those that will make those calls such as the author will never get promoted to positions where they can make system wide changes. Read this book. Then, do yourself a favor and read Steel My Soldiers' Hearts and Hazardous Duty by Colonel David Hackworth. These three books are a must read for anyone in the military, in policy making, or simply interested in the military. These books will entertain while informing you, so enjoy!
