Editorial Review: Product Description: In combating terror, America can no longer depend on its conventional military superiority and the use of sophisticated technology. More than ever, we need men like those of the Army Special Forces–the legendary Green Berets. In Chosen Soldier, Dick Couch draws on nearly a year spent at Special Forces training facilities and offers an unprecedented view of the education of these men. Following the experiences of one class of soldiers as they endure this physically and mentally exhausting ordeal, Couch spells out in fascinating detail the demanding selection process and grueling field exercises, the high-level technical training and intensive language courses, and the simulated battle problems that test everything from how well SF candidates gather operational intelligence to their skills at negotiating with volatile, often hostile, local leaders. Chosen Soldier paints a vivid portrait of an elite group, and a process that forges America’s smartest, most versatile, and most valuable fighting force. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The selection and training for the Army's Special ForcesFrom the first day on base for the X-Ray candidates, to the end of the grueling Robin Sage exercise, this author shadowed the students and instructors through the Army's Special Forces selection and training. He introduces us to the methods and thoughts of the instructors as they shape the next generation of Green Beret, as well as the changes in the students as they become elite warriors. The candidates come from a wide range of backgrounds, from experienced veterans to those in the ...

I believe it and experienced the ups and downs of every character. I know someone in the Special Forces and followed closely their selection experience. I learned much more from this book. I paid particular attention to the officer selection process as this is one of the few places anything is mentioned about that selection process. I look forward to seeing what Dick does next. Rating:  - A real roller coaster of a book, but not in a good way...The book certainly had some interesting points, but overall, even for a military buff like me, could get quite boring. It seemed to drone on, almost like reading an actual military handbook. In all honesty I haven't even completed the entire book, I've come close to the end to what I assume is going to be an interesting part, but I just can't quite force myself to read it yet Rating: - SuperbAnyone who is remotely considering a career in SF needs to read this book. It really put it all in perspective Browse for similar items by category:
