Interesting, but could be better

Revisado: 12-13-24

I am not sure if I somehow choose a female gender virtual voice to narrate, but the Karine Jean-Pierre voice made provided an unauthentic presentation. The story was interesting but presumably set in/near current times, but references old equipment (M60 tanks). They have been out of the main inventory for 40 years. Other word references made me wince (e.g., clip, retreat, etc.) We never retreat, we withdraw. For those of you who think that is semantics, it’s not. Lastly, waiting until the enemy is 50 yards away to fire mortars. At charge zero, by the time that round hit the ground, the enemy would be well past the target reference point. Again, not a bad audiobook, but word choice reduced the believability.

Agree with Untold

First, I have said that the narrator can make or break an audiobook. This narrator nearly broke this book. His reading reminded me of the announcer from the cartoon The Justice Friends. Every sentence was shouted like an announcement over a PA. Not a fan. With that said, the story was very interesting. As a former Infantry Officer, I have read a lot about Operation Anaconda. This is the only book that I recall that has discussed the Seals doing their own thing to join the fight and the consequences of those actions. If true, which I assume it is, their action ultimately resulted in loss of life that was preventable. John Chapman is a footnote in many books written about Anaconda. This book reveals a different perspective.

Technical to Emotional

Revisado: 05-14-24

The author is the narrator and does an ok job. Not great, but ok. The book is a little slow on the start but I think the helicopter training is necessary to transition into the next phase. His recollection of tours of duty are very interesting. Seems like he was involved with many of the major operation. The latter portion of the book transitions into the family challenges encountered by deployed military family's the toll it can take. reliving his wife's troubles had to be difficult and was a different direction for this book, but added a human factor to the military story.

Who hired the Narrator

Revisado: 05-14-24

Audio books can be made or broken by the narrator. This book is ok, but the narration really made it unpleasant to listen to. I'm not sure if this is the narrators' real or acting voice, but the term I would use to describe it is - backwoods unsavory character. Just wasn't a fan of the voice, and it made it difficult to listen to.
