A lot of confusion, a lot of humor, a lot of broken dreams and broken promises, an occasional triumph.
1978-a chance meeting on a remote military airbase between two Green Berets involved in the same operation leads to a partnership that will last over forty years. Four years after that meeting, Nick Brokhausen and Jeff Miller leave the service within a few weeks of each other and begin an odyssey that takes them to dozens of countries on five continents.
Along with a small coterie of fellow former Special Operations and intelligence community veterans like Penguini, Max, Reek, The Spider Woman and a score of others-some heroes and some villains-they undertake a variety of missions for the government, other governments, large multinational corporations mostly in the aerospace or resource development industries, and occasionally just for suffering individuals who cannot find help anywhere else. In the process they lay the groundwork for an entire new industry of private military contractors. Two men sadly just a bit ahead of their time.

Brokhausen har nog det mest blommiga språk jag stött på. Det är dock historien som inte riktigt når upp till samma nivå som tidigare beskrivningar från dennes tid i Vietnam.Jag har stor respekt för mannens livserfarenhet och berättande. Jag hoppas att han skriver mer och kommer alltid att avbryta allt annat för att lystra till dennes beskrivning av upplevelser. Till skillnad från tidigare skrivelser saknar jag Brokhausen emotionella beskrivningar och reflektioner. Jag finner det smått märkligt att livsgärningens senaste 4 årtionden återberättas utan detta. Kanske behöver han längre tid för att kunna sätta tankar i skrift.

Another very interesting book from Nick Brokhausen. I hope he has more material.

Älskar Brokhausens böcker. Otroliga situationer berättade med väldigt svart humor.

Annorlunda, men underhållande. Hade önskat att vissa delar kanske beskrevs med mer detalj.

Säkert en mycket bra bok (de två tidigare är solklara 5:or) men uppläsningen är helt värdelös. Slutar lyssna 30 min in.
