An excellent book about a Delta operator and some of the missions he was part of. He also took you the reader through some of the training and some of what each one goes through to just to make it. The consent training that each operator does so when they are on a mission it is more muscle memory. He also takes you through the battle of Mogadishu better known now as “Black Hawk Down”. I found his take on things very different than some of the other stories that I have read. Very honest about everything including him slipping and falling down in the street. It was here and after that, you get the real sense of the man, that he is just that a man trained to do a job and does it. He also at times has a slip up like everyone, yet gets up and continues. In the past other books, I felt that the person looked at themselves as they could do no wrong, here he is honest about everything.
He takes you through his other assignments up to and including past 9\11. How when he is promoted and is in charge of training and other responsibilities, he takes those on still leading his own unit. He is also honest with his life after he gets out and when he meets his new wife Jen. How their or his struggles at first could be their downfall yet he works through and together he and Jen form a new organization to help Vets. That is truly amazing. The work that they do together. I liked this book very much.

This was a well written account of Mr. Satterly's time in service and the challenges of coming back home after experiences many of us cannot even imagine. I admire his strength in telling his story, as it will help many other current and former military members.
