American Heroes in Special Operations by Oliver North

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

American Heroes in Special Operations gives an in-depth look into the hearts, minds, and operations of our elite heroes. It’s easy as a observer to idolize these heroes who sacrifice everything, but this book gave me a deeper perspective and appreciation of those sacrifices. With North and Holton embedded with these elite warriors, readers are able to see the intricacies and frustrations these men face on a daily basis. What we see on the news is often slanted and a mere sliver of the truth, and that’s why I love this American Heroes series because, in essence, it humanizes these warriors–it peels away the armor, the weapons, the deadly missions–and allows me to “see” a man behind all that gear and action. A man with a family, a dream. It’s an absolutely fascinating, informative, realistic, and engaging read!

GIVE AWAY!! I inadvertently ended up with TWO copies of AMERICAN HEROES IN SPECIAL OPERATIONS by Oliver North and Chuck Holton (thanks to a screwy ordering system which told me it shipped, then told me the order was canceled, then requested my “immediate attention” and then it was supposed to be canceled (again), so I bought my own copy at a store, THEN got a notice 8 hours later that the book shipped. Sigh…).

So, it’s a GREAT DELIGHT for me to offer a copy of this book FREE. Here’s what you have to do: Tell me about an American Hero you know/admire–and why.
