Complete Story from Beginning to End
This is probably the most complete book I have ever read on the
SEAL
S, out of many (the only exception is Lone Survivor below---it was as good or better in some ways----read them both). I find a LOT more facination with a book that is non-fiction, because these are events we can all relate to-----and this book is autobiographical in a true sense---as is Lone Survivor.
The tales in this book reflect major international events that have affected the U.S. in the reasonably recent past. The author was/is cleary a very hard man with his life----and the lives of others----on the line as is described in this book in enough detail to make it hard to put down.

Great Memoir
The title is the key to really "getting" this book. It is a
memoir
and not intended to be an action thriller about
SEAL missions
. That said, there are some tense moments that really make you feel the stress of being there. Pfarrer is an excellent writer so the book flows well. He is also quite honest throughout and that makes his toughness easier to take. I felt like I was getting to know the real guy, not just the tough guy he was some of the time.

Good SEAL story
I enjoyed the storyline and the technical information regarding ST 4 and ST 6. Chuck definitely has my respect.
The last chapter, however, was non-sequitar and did little for the book. I am sad to hear about his current medical problems, but I failed to see how he applied his "
warrior
soul
" to this new set of challenges.
I would love to see another book by him.

Great Read
I really liked the style the author brought to the table. Sarcastic yet to the point and no bs. The knowledge Chuck has on the subject of
SEAL
s is evident as he takes you though tours of "The Root", his last official jump from an airplane and many other great adventures and actions. I have read a handful of SEAL books and this one sticks out in my mind as being one of the best depictions of being in the teams in and around his timeframe. There is actually a great amount of history to be learned in this book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
History Repeats Itself
I was able to read this book in one sitting. I really enjoyed Mr. Pfarrer's writing style and humor...yes humor was acheived in this special operations
memoir
.
What was most compelling to me was his description of Lebanon in 1983. It gives a vivid picture of what we're embroiled in right now in Iraq.
Thank you Mr. Pfarrer for the history lesson and I hope you're doing well after your bout with colon cancer.
