Customer Review:
A terrific story, painful to read because of the many wasted opportunities. I wish this book were on any commander's reading list. Especially the Special Forces guys: an exercise in modesty and realpolitics.

from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.01

Customer Review:
Political bias aside, the author constantly goes out of his way to portray poorly supported conspiracy theories as undeniable fact. While there is a good deal of legitimate information in the book, it is, at times, difficult to differentiate from the half-truths present throughout.
