As a commander in Delta Forcethe most elite counter-terrorist organization in the worldPete Blaber has taken part in some of the most dangerous, controversial, and significant military and political events of our time. And hes learned and experienced more about the real world and how things really work than most people could imagine.
Here, the ex-Delta Force warrior reveals his intimate knowledge of warfare: its not the actionthe blinding flash of a concussion grenade, or the stealthy approach of the night- vision clad commandobut the interaction, in the form of the way we think, the way we make decisions, and the way we operationalize those decisions, that provides the keys to success, and the truly meaningful lessons.
In this book, you will learn the same lessons he learned, while experiencing what the life of a Delta Force Operator is likefrom the extreme physical and psychological training to the darkest of shadow ops all around the world.

And when the smoke clears, you will emerge wiser, more capable, and better prepared to succeed in life than you ever thought possible.
