About this listen

As a commander of Delta Force - the most elite counter terrorist organization in the world - Pete Blaber took part in some of the most dangerous, controversial, and significant military and political events of our time. Now he takes his intimate knowledge of warfare - and the heart, mind, and spirit it takes to win - and moves his focus from the combat zone to civilian life.

As the smoke clears from exciting stories about never-before-revealed top-secret missions that were executed all over the globe, listeners will emerge wiser, more capable, and more ready for life's personal victories than they ever thought possible.

A recollection of a great journey through the military. Reminds of how many people in charge really shouldn't be, and how so called intelligent people are not very smart..
This Commander has a great grasp on life, and directing others..

Well Read

As a defence veteran I really enjoyed this book. The insight into Delta Force is top notch. What it glearingly points out however, is the inability of the different units to collaborate with each other and listen to the man on the ground.
