Chosen Soldier: The Making of a Special Forces Warrior by Dick Couch

4.0

This was my first Dick Couch special operations book about something other than the Navy SEALs. I loved that, from the outside, he clarified terms and roles of the different special operations groups, and how and why the Green Berets are so different than other more direct-action groups. There were times I wished he went into more detail, or followed one training group more closely, but I got the impression this was also written from a much different perspective given his own background as a SEAL. I came out of it with a great deal more respect for the Army Special Forces for sure.

Side note: The editor than me did catch more than 10 typos/missing words/inconsistent word treatments throughout the book, but for a 398-page book, I guess that's an acceptable ratio...
