A Thoughtful Look at Special Operations

Revisado: 07-20-22

Linds Robinson provides yet another erudite and interesting set of accounts of tactical Special Operations, as well as the senior level decision making that impacted these close-in fights.

Well researched and full of useful anecdotes. The action is compelling, and the background privdes necessary context.

ld also recommend this book to anyone trying to influence change in deep-seeded cultural environments. Leaving aside the martial approaches, there are a lot of ideas on how to consider implementing new ideas within legacy groups.

An Important Story of Heroism

Revisado: 05-28-22

A well crafted story that recaps an often mischaracterized by important bit of Army Special Forces history.

Pleasantly delivered, it is honest, forthcoming, and at times harrowing.

Oh, and the Bourbon is good as well!

More about the Green Berets....eventually

Revisado: 07-03-21

Probably a good book. Interesting stories. Im sure there is a point....eventually. But it is a long time getting there. And the "Green Beret" parts are far less apparent than the title would suggest.

What is absolutely clear is that this was a horrible audio performance. It was performed by someone who apparently received absolutely no coaching from anyone with even a modicum of military experience. A cringing listen.

He was reading words, not telling a story. He sellout acronyms that are meant to be said as words,, or refer to ranks and titles..

This needs to be redone...preferably by someone who has served at least a couple of years on Active Duty in the US Army. Failing that, the reader needs direct coaching by someone with applicable military experience. [Yes, I'm volunteering.]

A very surprising and enjoyable listen.

Revisado: 03-13-21

I selected this Audible choice for 2 reasons - i recently read a post on a Bond fan site that this book was uniquely voiced from a women's view, and it was voiced here by Rosamond Pike, herself a Bond Girl.

One could be forgiven for wondering where the Bond stuff is, as the first 1/4 is essentially a girl's drama. However, please do stuck with it - it turns into a good story with a solid, if somewhat coasting ending.

This story is in no way the story of the same name in the Bond movie - itself a very good Roger Moore outing. And were it named something else would probably be a decent movie in its own right [though not advancing the canon at all.]

I recommend it. I especially recommend it for women looking for a very well written romance.

Overall...good story, well presented by the lovely and talented Ms Pike, and an entertaining listen.
