## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Missing the best bits but still a worthwhile read
            
*by D***S on January 22, 2019*

A good leadership book, honest and compelling if a little light on the things you really want to read about. I wish Ant had finished his selection experience and talked about making it into the SBS after all of the effort. I’d like to have learned how he compared the outfit to his other units. Unfortunately this whole chunk of his career is skipped. He also fails to talk about his transition into television. So while I enjoyed his honesty and what he did share, it left so much unsaid that I feel a bit let down. Let’s have a follow up!
  

### ⭐ not what I expected from a "Special Forces Biography"
            
*by L***E on May 1, 2019*

Perhaps I misunderstood the genre/intent of the title, I expected a biography of a special forces operator; while the author does mention some of his experiences during his career this is clearly not the focus of the title thus it was aa disappointment to me - gave up and returned it for a refund
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A comprehensive (and entirely different than I expected) account of how people can make changes to themselves and tolerate the intolerable.
            
*by D***E on September 9, 2018*

I had hoped for a few more service examples but, given the author's background, their scarcity is understandable. Very enjoyable and a good reminder of some of the things I enjoyed about my own short service.
