Story
In America's new war, the first guns in the fight are special operations forces, including the Navy SEALs, specially trained warriors who operate with precision, swiftness, and lethal force. In the constantly shifting war on terror, SEAL units - small in number, flexible, stealthy, and efficient - are more vital than ever to America's security as they take the battle to an elusive enemy around the globe. This is essential listening for anyone who wants to know what goes into the making of America's best warriors.

Their task was to document the activity of an al Qaeda leader rumored to have a small army in a Taliban stronghold. Five days later, only one of those Navy SEALS made it out alive. This is the story of the only survivor of Operation Redwing, SEAL team leader Marcus Luttrell, and the extraordinary firefight that led to the largest loss of life in American Navy SEAL history.

The Pentagon has officially confirmed more than 150 of Kyles kills (the previous American record was 109), but it has declined to verify the astonishing total number for this book. Iraqi insurgents feared Kyle so much they named him al-Shaitan ("the devil") and placed a bounty on his head.

The 75th Ranger Regiment is a unique and distinct culture among the American military establishment. They stand alone, even among our other Special Operations forces, as the most active brigade-sized force in the current Global War on Terrorism. Since 9/11, the Regiment has been the only continuously engaged unit in the Army, and has had 40 percent of its number deployed in harm's way for the last decade. Their mission is unique. Rangers do not patrol, they don't train allied forces, nor do they engage in routine counterinsurgency duties. They have a single-mission focus.

The Marine Special Operations Command ("MARSOC") is the newest component of the military's shift toward a fully integrated Special Operations Command structure. At first, the Marines were strongly against any Marines serving under anyone other than another Marine. Then 9/11 happened. In the years following, Marine forces found themselves growing more agreeable to inter-branch operational command, finally forming the Marine Special Operations Command in 2006.

In The Warrior Elite, former Navy SEAL Dick Couch documents the process that transforms young men into warriors. SEAL training is the distillation of the human spirit, a tradition-bound ordeal that seeks to find men with character, courage, and the burning desire to win at all costs, men who would rather die than quit.

The Navy has the SEALS, and the Army has the Green Berets. They are masters of asymmetrical warfare, trained to immerse themselves in hostile territory, sleeping near their enemies and building relationships with people who may want to kill them. Retired lieutenant colonel Tony Schwalm knows this group well, because he is one of them and he trained them. In The Guerrilla Factory, he provides an unbelievably gripping inside look into the grueling training that every army officer must endure to become one of America's elite Green Berets.

The 75th Ranger Regiment is a unique and distinct culture among the American military establishment. They stand alone, even among our other Special Operations forces, as the most active brigade-sized force in the current Global War on Terrorism. Since 9/11, the Regiment has been the only continuously engaged unit in the Army, and has had 40 percent of its number deployed in harm's way for the last decade. Their mission is unique. Rangers do not patrol, they don't train allied forces, nor do they engage in routine counterinsurgency duties. They have a single-mission focus.

A Chosen Few
What made the experience of listening to The Warrior Elite the most enjoyable?
The book is written for a beginner, such as myself, who knows nothing about the Navy Seals. I'm not an expert by any means, now that I've finished the book but I can say that I could talk with someone about the Navy Seals and be knowledgeable. The book would also be an excellent read for anyone who has any knowledge about the Navy Seals.
What did you like best about this story?
The knowledge that the author imparted to me. The information furnished seems overwhelming when you start at the initiation of a man/woman putting in their name to be put on the list to begin seal training, until the moment that a person becomes a seal. However, after starting this book I only wanted to soak in any and all information that the author could provide. I now understand why our men/women are so very proud of what they have accomplished. I no longer have to wonder how or why the US navy can and do provide such excellence in their chosen few.
Have you listened to any of Arthur Morey’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, I have not.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
The book has a vault of information that I could not have understood if I had even wanted to finish listening to it all in one sitting. I needed time to absorb the information.
Any additional comments?
This book has helped me to apply facts to books that I now read by such author's as Brad Thor, W.E.B. Griffin, Robert Littell, to name only a few. Books written by the aforementioned author's have certainly had to do extensive research to write their books.Books are written to be fun to read and understand. I'm so glad that I somehow selected a book about the US military because it has provided me with an unquenchable thirst to learn more.

Narration
The narrator did a fantastic job telling the story. I was able to fully understand Dick Couch’s story and stay focused. Usually people do not listen to audio books due to the speaker. However this books narrator will not disappoint. Anyone who is interested in learning about America’s finest warriors should listen to this audio book.

Riveting and Relevant
Couch's look into the lives of BUDS class 228 is both informative and relevant. By following the day to day life of these Navy SEAL trainees the reader is able to not only understand what it takes it takes to become a SEAL, but also the kind of grit the person must have in order to complete training. A mixture of heart, endurance, luck and persistence is a required trait for these men, and the book displays this by describing the obstacles the trainees must face---and clear.
A lot of things have changed since when this book was written in 2003, and it is interesting to hear about men featured in this book, like Marcus Luttrell, who is now a Navy Cross recipient for his actions during Operation Freedom. While some specifics of training might have changed, the fundamentals have not.
As SEALS are becoming more and more relevant today, especially in the killing of Osama Bin Laden, this book serves as a premier source to discover the qualities of the men that wear the SEAL trident.

Best Book About BUD/S
This book taught me a great deal about what BUD/S is like, what it takes to get through BUD/S, and what it takes to be a Navy SEAL. I appreciated that this book was written by a SEAL Vietnam veteran. The book was very well written, and the narration was amazing. I’d highly recommend this book if you’re generally interested in the SEAL Teams.
