Book Review: Unlimited Power meets Bravo Two Zero
Summary: 5 Stars

While that would have been an interesting talk (:-), it wouldn't have been half so interesting or enjoyable as this book. Written by a retired US Navy SEAL, this book manages to be equal parts gripping narrative, practical exercise, and innovative "phraseology". Not only was I not put off by the authors machismo (the fact that his name is "Macho-wicz" seems to be lost on him, which was a pleasant surprise), I actually wound up liking him, and unlike a fair few authors in the genre, would enjoy spending time in his company.

The most exciting chapter for me was the one on fear. Take for example the author's description of fear as:

"...this paper-thin, veiled mist. And once you walk through this paper-thin mist, it's clear on the other side. Your fear is behind you."

Or this:

"Fear is not a true indicator of danger, evaluated experience is...good evaluation of past experiences makes for good decisions, period."

Excellent stuff and a great read.
