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.

Effing fantastic book.
Somewhat about leadership.
More than anything it commiserates about the frustrations of trying to be a good leader in an organization that doesn’t have a hot clue about teaching leaders to put their ego last.
Damn god read though.

Entrepreneurial Warfare Lessons
Practical, nimble , common sense decision making and the open sharing of situational intelligence trump rigid hierarchies and top down master plans every time. Listen to the guy on the ground.

Some key applications
It was worth recognizing the futility of technological decision-making as opposed to men on the ground decision making. This can apply to any business relationship or family.

Real experience
You can’t beat the experience of the guy on the ground. For leadership and mission planning, I can’t highly recommend another book other than this one.

great book. wrong narrator
I really enjoyed the book and the insightful leadership experience but the narration made it difficult. Not the right voice and the added accents were just bad.
