The Warrior Elite

The Forging of SEAL Class 228

De: Dick Couch

Narrado por: Arthur Morey

With a postscript describing SEAL efforts in Afghanistan, The Warrior Elite takes you into the toughest, longest, and most relentless military training in the world. What does it take to become a Navy SEAL? What makes talented, intelligent young men volunteer for physical punishment, cold water, and days without sleep? 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Couch has written an exceptionally nuanced and insighful book." ( Washington Post Book World)

Interesting read

Captivating, informative and motivating.
Gives me more to pray about. Gives some light on a hidden way of life.

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.

Insightful

This is one of my favorite books. Great insight on what it takes to be a modern day American warrior.

awesome sauce

this book helps me check my attitude and get it done. I want to be warrior elite husband and father

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.
