Brotherhood of Warriors: Behind Enemy Lines with a Commando in One of the World's Most Elite Counterterrorism Units

I found the book both entertaining and informative. Provides insights one never consdiers.

I find his voice easy to listen to.

It starts slow, but, quite good once it gets going. Brought issues in perspective to dealing with terrorist and US need to adopt a more aggressive approach to security and counterterrorism. The closing of the book made me wanting to read more. I hope Aaron Cohen is working a sequel.

This book was an excellent account of a man's journey from Hollywood brat to elite IDF counter-terrorism team member. The book deals largely with his training and then some of his operational experience. It highlights the difference between US tactics and ideology and those of Israel in dealing with terrorist cells. The Israeli use of methods one would normally associate with undercover police work seems more effective than those that I was taught at SOT (Mott Lake) with its dynamic entries. All in all, a great insight into the way a nation that has been under seige for 60 years deals with problems just emerging in our world. I just wish that he had included more accounts of actual operations.

I thought this book was going to be about a war hero and it turned out to be the philosophical difference in the American approach to terrorism and the Israel approach.
It is a great read that keeps the reader turning the page with a mix of excitement and thought provoking ideas.
The ironic part is when the author compares the two nations priorities. Drugs for example, the author illustrates how the US commits a large number of resources to drugs. Not only does every law enforcement agency from local to federal handle it, they even created a who federal agency to combat it. In contrast, Israel classifies drugs as it classifies any other illegal activity and leaves it for every law enforcement agency to handle, instead it focuses resources on terrorism because that happens on every street corner. The author asks the question, how many people will have to dies, how many terrorist strikes will have to happen in the US before anti-terrorism becomes a part of every law enforcement agency just like anti-drug enforcement has. Whether or not you agree with this comparison or not there are many other parallels the author draws, it is definitely food for thought. The reason this is such an interesting book is because he has the benefit of being an insider for both the US and Israel, serving first a elite special forces soldier in the Israel Defense Force (IDF) and now as a private consultant for many law enforcement agencies in the US.

Self centered jerkoffs

No

Im not sure it's fair for me to give only one star to the narrator, but everything about this story absolutely SUCKED

The author, Aaron Cohen!

The most self centered book I could imagine. I bought this book thinking it was about a "Brotherhood of Warriors" and all it was about was Aaron Cohen's self centered story. There was absolutely nothing about brotherhood or teamwork. Look at me, I think I'm a bad ass, I fight people and my parents are rich. Oh, did I mention how I think I'm elite?Ill never get back the time I waisted listening to this. I could have been listening to American Sniper or Warrior Elite or War or The Good Soldiers. Those books are actually about teamwork and real brotherhood. Aaron Cohen may be a veteran of a great and highly respected unit in the Israeli army, but he certainly didn't learn how to be humble. You will be pissed if you buy this! I told you so!
