Brotherhood of Warriors

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

De: Aaron Cohen, Douglas Century

Narrado por: David Drummond

Beverly Hills native Aaron Cohen was 18 years old when he left behind his privileged American life with the single-minded ambition of joining Israel's top anti-terrorist commando unit. After 15 months of grueling training, Cohen was offered the only post a non-Israeli can hold: a top-secret, highly controversial unit that dispatches operatives disguised as Arabs into the Palestinian-controlled West Bank to abduct Hamas leaders and bring them to Israel for trial. Cohen learned flawless Arabic, lost all semblance of his all-American appearance, and participated in countless life-or-death missions. A propulsive, gripping read, Cohen's story is a rare fly-on-the-wall view into the shadowy world of "Black Ops".©2008 Aaron Cohen (P)2008 Tantor

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Aaron Cohen has something to say. And he knows what he's talking about....A no-nonsense, riveting read." (General Tommy Franks, U.S. Army, Ret.)
"A raw, intensely personal, and astonishing look at the journey of a very unlikely hero....It's more than a story of the making of an elite unconventional warfare operative-it's a real, in-your-face, and mesmerizing look at the birth of a patriot. You will be inspired, believe me." (Dale Brown)

Phenomenal!!!

This guy is the real life Jason Bourne!! A brutally honest book about the realities of what Israel endures on a daily basis and has been enduring since its founding. Highly recommend this book for anyone looking for truth over feelings. Well done Aaron!!

Being the best for his country. An amazing story to push beyond the best to protect his country.

The toughness and sacrifice needed to survive against the most ruthless, sinister-foes in in.

Very on current

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.

As an Israeli this book moved me

It's not the story, which is great, it's the outsider perspective given to a situation I hear regularly. I loved the way the story was built. The narration was good especially in the Hebrew words, that's the way most immigrants pronounces them.

Inside IDF SF

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.

Surprisingly a great story

I've always been fascinated by training required to become a special ops soldier. I read several books about Navy SEALs and gained tremendous amount of respect for those guys. But this book offered me a glimpse of the place under constant threat and what it takes to be a warrior in such conditions. Israel is even more selective in their process to find that perfect soldier. The training is even more brutal and yet justified. I really enjoyed this book. The story and action was captivating but the perspective of an American kid turned Israeli soldier was truly unique.

Thought Provoking

I like the story line, the brutal honesty and the integrity of the characters. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs discipline and mental toughness.
