Good read
I just finished this book, i actually was expecting something more "Unit" like, but found this to be a story of struggle and prayer.
I was impressed to read how much he prayed and that he did it for his men that followed him into some of the worst places in the world under some of the worst cases. He description of the "BlackHawk Down" event was extremely touching.
I'm not a hard core religious person, but this was inspiring enough to send me to the chapel. later!
If Dalton Fury says read it, you're going to want to read it
...and you will not regret it, my friend. Read it and weep, then read it again.
Thank you, Jerry Boykin. You have earned the everlasting love of every American citizen that understands the violent world in which we live.
A great book!
Written by a man of faith, the book is an in-depth look at one of the most secretive, and effective units in the US Military.
A great book!
