Description - Chosen Soldier by Dick Couch
For readers drawn to classic narratives of state-of-the-art military training, such as Thomas Ricks' Making the Corps and Daniel Da Cruz's Boot; for all those fascinated by the history and operations of the Green Berets detailed in such books as Linda Robinson's Masters of Chaos and Robin Moore's The Green Berets; and for the many readers who have enjoyed Dick Couch's previous books.
An unprecedented view of Green Beret training,drawn fromthe year Dick Couch spent at Special Forces training facilities with the Army's most elite soldiers.
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.
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.
