All Secure

A Special Operations Soldier's Fight to Survive on the Battlefield and the Homefront

De: Tom Satterly, Steve Jackson

Narrado por: Tom Satterly

One of the most highly regarded special operations soldiers in American military history shares his war stories and personal battle with PTSD.
As a senior non-commissioned officer of the most elite and secretive special operations unit in the U.S. military, Command Sergeant Major Tom Satterly fought some of this country's most fearsome enemies. Over the course of twenty years and thousands of missions, he's fought desperately for his life, rescued hostages, killed and captured terrorist leaders, and seen his friends maimed and killed around him. All Secure is in part Tom's journey into a world so dark and dangerous that most Americans can't contemplate its existence. It recounts what it is like to be on the front lines with one of America's most highly trained warriors. As action-packed as any fiction thriller, All Secure is an insider's view of "The Unit." Tom is a legend even among other Tier One special operators. Yet the enemy that cost him three marriages, and ruined his health physically and psychologically, existed in his brain. It nearly led him to kill himself in 2014; but for the lifeline thrown to him by an extraordinary woman it might have ended there. Instead, they took on Satterly's most important mission-saving the lives of his brothers and sisters in arms who are killing themselves at a rate of more than twenty a day. Told through Satterly's firsthand experiences, it also weaves in the reasons-the bloodshed, the deaths, the intense moments of sheer terror, the survivor's guilt, depression, and substance abuse-for his career-long battle against the most insidious enemy of all: Post Traumatic Stress. With the help of his wife, he learned that by admitting his weaknesses and faults he sets an example for other combat veterans struggling to come home.

Amazing.

I’m also a vet with PTSD. This was a very helpful read. Thanks and God Bless!

very good book.

The narraton was ver good. Tom Slattery is by far a strong man, with a strong warrior spirit.

Courage

Tom is a hero and not just for his service to the country. It takes a lot of courage to be able to share his story. Excellent book highly recommend to anyone.

Greatest...

This book has made me cry, so much more than any other book i have read or listened to on audible.. thank you for this

Moving. Important. Inspiring.

Great book. I always enjoy reading and learning about our nation's elite Tier One operators and what they do every day to defend our freedom and keep us safe. To all of them, all those in the military, and their families - thank you is not nearly enough, but thank you. The unique aspect of All Secure is the author's willingness to expose his battle with PTS and put a name and a face on something that few are comfortable talking about. It takes an unimaginable amount of courage to be a Tier One operator for 20 years, and arguably more courage to write about, speak about, and embrace the battles that we all face at one point or another in our lives - obviously magnified and amplified by his time in the service. I know the All Secure Foundation is already helping countless veterans and their families and can only hope that it continues to grow and expand in the years ahead. Thank you for your service and thank you for writing such an important and inspiring book.
