"This is a very underrated memoir from a Delta Force Commander about his lessons from combat. He used real scenarios he operated in to help prove his points about life lessons. It also has some very good info on some early operations in Afghanistan. I really think if this was different later on, it would be a best seller. Fantastic memoir for anyone interested in our military, leadership, Special Forces, or even the US failures early in Operation Anaconda."
