Review
'An eye-widening, fascinating memoir of a young man's sentimental education in the fine arts of infiltrating ' denied areas, ' blowing things up, slashing a few throats, and otherwise visiting mayhem on the bad guys . . . frank, well-written, and memorable.' --Kirkus Reviews 'From the Hardcover edition.'
Product Description
Since the first Navy frogmen crawled onto the beaches of Normandy, no SEAL has ever surrendered, writes Chuch Pfarrer. No SEAL has ever been captured, and not one teammate or body has ever been left in the field. This legacy of valor is unmatched in modern warfare. Warrior Soul is a book about the warrior spirit, and it takes the reader all over the world. Former Navy SEAL Chuck Pfarrer recounts some of his most dangerous assignments. On a clandestine reconnaissance mission on the Mosquito Coast his recon team plays a deadly game of cat and mouse with a Nicaraguan patrol boat. Cut off on the streets of Beirut, the author s SEAL detachment battles snipers on the Green Line. In the mid-Atlantic, Pfarrer's unit attempts to retrieve or destroy the booster section of a Trident ballistic missile before it can be recovered by a Russian spy trawler. On a runway in Sicily his assault element surrounds an Egyptian airliner carrying the Achille Lauro hijackers. These are only a few of the riveting stories of combat patrol, reconnaissance missions, counter-terrorist operations, tragedies and victories in Warrior Soul that illustrate the SEAL maxim: The person who will not be defeated cannot be defeated .

Format:Hardcover
Many books about special forces tend to be gung ho Rambo like,not this one.If you prefer a feet on the ground,real world story by a former Navy SEAL,with no need to overdo his story, then this book is highly recommended.I would have liked to rate this book 4.7 stars.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I was very surprised by the author's objectivity as well as his writing skills. Soldiers are not know for their ability with the pen, especially special forces soldiers. The book is very well written, evenly paced and, even though it is told from a first person narrative, incredibly objective. There is no grandstanding or ego trips (compare this to a Dick Marcinko book for example), just the author's experience and his views, related as disspasionately as possible. Yet it manages to be a very interesting and thrilling read. So the objective tone does not detract from the experience at all, quite the contrary, it helps enhance it through its honesty. My only complain was the the book ended too soon for me (even thought it's 314 pages long).
The author tells his stroy from his training in the BUD/S program to his deployment in different parts of the world such as Beirut, etc.
I recommended this to anyone interested in the SEALs or special forces, or just military action in general.

Loved it very much. The whole unusual story of life, with all the ups and downs, with all the perspective that the authors puts to himself. Excellent read. Highly recommended.

too long
This book is very good, but I feel it is about 40% too long - it felt like a long book to read. Having said that, it is interesting and exciting.

This had the potential to be a great book with some fantastic insights into the training regime that a prospective seal goes through. Read more
