review 1: The world needs more books written with, and about Green Berets. The SEALs get all the glory right now, but the Special Forces guys are doing some amazing things too.Solid book, though it lost a star because it ended abruptly. I thought more of the author's opinions would've helped, as well as more time spent with the upper echelon commanders. Precious little action as well, but that's a good thing for a unit that's meant to build armies, not necessarily destroy them.
review 2: A fantastic account of one journalist's (Kevin Maurer) time embedded with a Special Forces (Green Beret) unit in Afghanistan. Not meant to be an action thriller or a plot driven tale, but an account of heroes nonetheless. Reading this book was constantly refreshing and always interest... moreing due to Kevin's writing style and editorial observation of the world happening around him and how he affected that world while a part of it. I highly recommend "Gentlemen Bastards."-Mitch GeradsCo-Creator and Illustrator of "The ACTIVITY" from IMAGE Comics less
