Congressman Mike Waltz
À propos de cet audio
This program is read by the author.
Congressman and retired Green Beret Mike Waltz shares how the mindset he honed in military service can help anyone—in politics, in business or in life—conquer everyday challenges.
Up in the mountains of Afghanistan, one of Mike Waltz's snipers watched through his scope as a young boy acted as a spotter for the Taliban mortars attacking a Green Beret position. The sniper requested permission to fire. Waltz refused, insisting on restraint. The child was spared, and the position was held. Later that same day, Waltz visited a nearby Afghan village and discovered the Taliban had hanged a boy in front of his family—because the child wasn't willing to fight for them.
Restraint is a trait common to Green Berets, but rare on the battlefield—and even rarer in today's national political discourse.
Now, Mike Waltz is a retired Colonel and a U.S. Representative from Florida, the first Green Beret ever to be elected to Congress. After twenty-seven years in the Army, nearly all of them in the elite Special Forces where he fought America's enemies around the world, he has developed a perspective distinct from most—probably all—of his colleagues in politics today.

"An inspirational call to action"—Booklist
"Mike Waltz’s latest book, Hard Truths, is a must read, not just for every leader in America, but for every citizen. From combat in the mountains of Afghanistan, to advising at the highest levels of the Pentagon and the White House, to building one of the country’s fastest growing small companies in the private sector, and ultimately to continuing his service in the halls of Congress, the retired U.S. Army Special Forces Colonel and current congressman combines his personal experiences and lessons with examples from the pages of history to illuminate the path ahead. In Hard Truths, he applies the Green Beret's principles of unconventional warfare to leadership and governance as only someone with his unique background can. Veterans like Congressman Waltz who have sacrificed and invested in America offer hope for the future. Waltz understands the importance of maintaining the moral high ground in combat and in congress and of applying the lessons of the past to create a brighter future for us all. Add Hard Truths to your library today!”—Jack Carr, former Navy SEAL Sniper and #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Terminal List Series
"Very few people know as much about the American military and political system as Congressman-Colonel Michael Waltz. In Hard Truths, he brings us into the battles he has fought all over the world to help us understand the mindset of the Green Berets and to understand what Americans need to do to win the fight for a well-rounded moral life."—Brian Kilmeade, six-time New York Times bestselling author, co-host Fox & Friends, and host of "The Brian Kilmeade Show"
