12 Strong is the dramatic account of a small band of Special Forces soldiers who secretly entered Afghanistan following 9/11 and rode to war on horses against the Taliban. Outnumbered 40 to one, they pursued the enemy army across the mountainous Afghanistan terrain and, after a series of intense battles, captured the city of Mazar-i-Sharif. The bone-weary American soldiers were welcomed as liberators as they rode into the city. Then the action took a wholly unexpected turn.

excellent book
Revisado: 10-31-17
This is an excellent book that everyone must read. It finally tells a story of extremely brave men that stepped up to protect the US when the US was at its weakest and most vulnerable. There are very few stories the grip you from the beginning and don't let you go until the very end. trust me you will read the last sentence and then just sit there in disbelief that it is over. I understand that there is a movie coming out about this soon. Please read the book prior to that. there is so much of this story that the movie won't be able to cover or flat out won't be able to explain because it's too time consuming.

On Combat looks at what happens to the human body under the stresses of deadly battle and the impact on the nervous system, heart, breathing, visual and auditory perception, memory - then discusses new research findings as to what measure warriors can take to prevent such debilitations so they can stay in the fight, survive, and win. A brief, but insightful look at history shows the evolution of combat, the development of the physical and psychological leverage that enables humans to kill other humans, followed by an objective examination of domestic violence in America.

excellent book
Revisado: 10-24-17
this is an excellent book that should be listened to by not only military personnel / police officers but everyone. the information that is provided on how to strengthen your mind and prevent others from defeating you both mentally and physically should be used and applied by all. not everyone can be a sheep dog but I believe our society contains too many of the softer gentler kind of sheep. this book assists with correcting that. stop allowing yourself to be a victim. LTC Grossman touches on so many different topics that one would be hard to find a topic that didn't directly apply to them and how they could benefit from the advise being given. After listening to this book I gave it to my wife to listen too. Where I can associate with most of the book she benefits more from the middle to the end. This book would benefit all of society and therefore I highly recommend it to everyone!

He was the wittiest, the prettiest, the strongest, the bravest, and, of course, the greatest (as he told us over and over again). Muhammad Ali was one of the 20th century's greatest radicals and most compelling figures. At his funeral in 2016, eulogists said Ali had transcended race and united the country, but they got it wrong. Race was the theme of Ali's life. He insisted that America come to grips with a Black man who wasn't afraid to speak out or break the rules. He didn't overcome racism. He called it out.

this is an excellent book that not only speaks to the amazing life of Ali but also speaks to the trials and tribulations of America in the 1940s to present day. this book bridges the gap of understanding between the two sides and the man that wasn't afraid to call it as he seen it.

this is an excellent book that honors some of the most remarkable men that have ever walked on this earth. these individuals strength of character is something that everyone should live by.

Excellent book about excellent people.

In 2011, a 26-year-old libertarian programmer named Ross Ulbricht launched the ultimate free market: the Silk Road, a clandestine website hosted on the Dark Web where anyone could trade anything - drugs, hacking software, forged passports, counterfeit cash, poisons - free of the government's watchful eye. It wasn't long before the media got wind of the new website where anyone - not just teenagers and weed dealers but terrorists and black hat hackers - could buy and sell contraband detection-free.

All around excellent book
Revisado: 06-23-17
When I first started this book I had never heard of the silk road and knew nothing surrounding the person that was the mastermind behind it. I love non fiction books for the lessons and history that they teach and this one might be the best one that I have ever read. It allows you to get inside of all of the characters involved and presents almost a question back to you questioning your own morals and values. This is an excellent book.

Shots rang out in Savannah's grandest mansion in the misty,early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. John Berendt's sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative flows like a thoroughly engrossing novel, and yet it is a work of nonfiction.

Jim Nicholson was one of the CIA's top veteran case officers. By day he taught spycraft at the CIA's clandestine training center, The Farm. By night he was a minivan-driving single father racing home to have dinner with his kids. But Nicholson led a double life. For more than two years, he had met covertly with agents of Russia's foreign intelligence service and turned over troves of classified documents. In 1997 Nicholson became the highest-ranking CIA officer ever convicted of espionage.

It Worked for Me is filled with vivid experiences and lessons learned that have shaped the legendary career of the four-star general and former Secretary of State Colin Powell. At its heart are Powell's "Thirteen Rules" - such as "Get mad, then get over it" and "Share credit" - that introduce his principles for effective leadership: conviction, hard work, and, above all, respect for others. A natural storyteller, Powell offers warm and engaging parables with wise advice on succeeding in the workplace and beyond.

excellent book on leadership
Revisado: 09-23-16
This is an excellent book on leadership at all levels. I love how Colin Powell continues to reiterate the fundamentals of leadership which all starts with caring about the individuals that you are leading. To many times leadership is thought as smash over the head type leadership. That is not the case now or ever. The inside Colin gives to the trials and tribulations that taught him his life lessons is also riveting. Very good book that all individuals in any leadership position should read.
