A Warts-and-All Memoir of Army Special Operations
4 stars
Most autobiographical books written by special operations veterans typically follow the theme of "Here's how awesome we were and here's all the cool things we did". Jack unapologetically diverges from that, and he doesn't pull any punches while doing so.
From dysfunctional organizations, to dysfunctional people, to dysfunctional operations, he is unflinchingly honest. Jack will allocate praise where it's due and will present the unvarnished truth when it's not. There's a lot of ugliness in here, but it's an ugly business.
For folks that want to know what Army SOF looks like up close, this is easy to recommend.
