Shadow Warriors

Inside the Special Forces

De: Tom Clancy, Carl Stiner

Narrado por: Jonathan Marosz

Teams of dedicated, highly specialized soldiers trained to a higher standard than regular forces; an armamentarium of advanced weapons and tactics; a variety of exotic, critical assignments for the good of the nation; in short, the U.S. Special Forces seem tailor-made for Tom Clancy, progenitor of the techno-thriller. In this factual account written with General Carl Steiner (Ret.), a commander who held responsibility for all U.S. Special Operations forces across all service lines, we get special insight into a largely secretive community whose members do not talk about their work. We hear about it only afterwards—the Achille Lauro hijacking, the "takedown" of Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega, the efforts to find Aidid in Somalia.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Some action vignettes from [Special Forces] roots in WWII and Vietnam rival Clancy fiction.”—Kirkus Reviews

“The plethora of insider history and firsthand operation specifics…will please the historically minded.”—Publishers Weekly

Very Insightful

Clancy and Steiner deliver a thorough account showing the demands and capabilities of US SOF.

A good historical book.

A look at the Special Forces from its early days 9/11. a really good read

Annoying Narration

Good story but I found Jonathan Marosz inflections and tendency to end sentences as if they where questions a bit annoying and almost made me quit listening and read it instead.

SHADOW WARRIOR

SHADOW WARRIOR is a great story that brought me back to wear I was and what I was doing at that time.

Good book!

Great book. There is something so intriguing about hearing what the thought processes of our military leaders were in some of the foremost conflicts of the last 70 years
