Warfighter

The Story of an American Fighting Man

De: Col. Jesse L. Johnson, Alex Holstein

Narrado por: Corey M. Snow

In Warfighter, Colonel Jesse L. Johnson, one of the most decorated living American veterans, recounts the action-packed true-life tale of a man who stood and fought at the crossroads of history. Spanning forty years of conflict, from the jungles of Vietnam to the deserts of Iran and Iraq, never has a modern military memoir covered such a vast landscape of all-out warfare. Never has one man fought on the frontlines of so many of America's most heroic battles. Johnson led the most elite forces on operations that defined eras past and present, mentoring young soldiers who would rise to become some of America's greatest generals. He held the ear of princes, kings, presidents, and even Hollywood movie stars.

With an all-star cast worthy of an epic war film, this extraordinary hero's journey sheds new light on some of the most transformative events of our time—crises, conflicts, and covert operations that have shaped the world as we know it today. More important, Warfighter offers us a deeper understanding of the personal sacrifice and human toll of a lifetime at war, and the honor-bound code of a man whose instinct in battle was to always charge ahead of those under his command—into the fight.

great story

This was a great story. sad to learn Col Johnson recently passed away. Warriors like Col Johnson need to be remembered.

Detail

The detail he went into from memory is wild to me remembering all the small parts made this book 10/10 for me.

Good bio on balance

Down to earth, honest. I recommend for a good perspective of the pre GWOT era of US soldier experience both regular and Special Operations via authors experience.

The real story. He was there.

He did what most men in this country today run away from. A very proud American.
