Title: Brotherhood of Bore?
Product review: Summary: Disappointing, tedious and potentially insulting to the dedicated men and women of all branches of Special Opeations who put there lives on the line for little or no personal recognition.Though I'm an avid consumer of military fiction and nonfiction, this is my first Griffin book. Based on this experience, I doubt that I'll be back for more. While some reviewers here contend that this books concentrates more on the crucial aspects of Spec Ops planning than actual firefights, I found more tedious descriptions of dinner party menus, polo matches and honeymoon arrangements than discussions of tactical/operational issues. And how many Special Forces operators on assignment are billeted in luxury suites, attended by personal servants with their wives and children vacationing by the pool?Clue: When the number of champaign bottles emptied exceeds the number of rounds spent, you're closer to a Danielle Steele romance novel than Stephen Ambrose.
