Publisher Comments:

Pete Blaber knows what it takes to surviveÂ…and thrive.

As a commander in Delta Force—the most elite counter-terrorist organization in the world—Pete Blaber has taken part in some of the most dangerous, controversial, and significant military and political events of our time. And h‛s learned and experienced more about the real world and how things really work than most people could imagine.

Here, the ex-Delta Force warrior reveals his intimate knowledge of warfare: i‛s not the action—the blinding flash of a concussion grenade, or the stealthy approach of the night- vision clad commando—but the interaction, in the form of the way we think, the way we make decisions, and the way we operationalize those decisions, that provides the keys to success, and the truly meaningful lessons.

In this book, you will learn the same lessons he learned, while experiencing what the life of a Delta Force Operator is like—from the extreme physical and psychological training to the darkest of shadow ops all around the world.

With each mission he conducted, Pete Blaber has taken a life lesson back with him. You will learn these enlightening lessons as you gain insights into never-before- revealed missions executed across the globe. And when the smoke clears, you will emerge wiser, more capable, and better prepared to succeed in life than you ever thought possible.

Very informative, and interesting. The author has provided some very interesting background, and insight about the covert prospects, and actual overviews of how and why things were done and accomplished. Note T.V. Show, The Unit, is based in large part on this compilation of events.
