In The Finishing School, former Navy SEAL Dick Couch, author of the acclaimed Warrior Elite, follows SEALs on the ground and in the water as they undergo SEAL Tactical Training. In America's new war, the first guns in the fight are special operations forces, including the Navy SEALs, specially trained warriors who operate with precision, swiftness, and lethal force. In the constantly shifting war on terror, SEAL units--small in number, flexible, stealthy, and efficient--are more vital than ever to America's security as they take the battle to an elusive enemy around the globe. But how are Navy SEALs made? In Warrior Elite, Couch narrated one SEAL class's journey through BUD/S training, the brutal initial course that separates out candidates with the character and stamina necessary to begin training as Navy SEALs. In The Finishing School, Couch follows SEALs into the next levels of training--SEAL Tactical Training--where they master combat skills such as precision shooting, demolitions, secure communications, parachuting, diving, and first aid. From there, the men enter operational platoons, where they subordinate their individual abilities to the mission of the group and train for special operations in specific geographic environments. Never before has a civilian writer been granted such close access to the training of America's most elite military forces. The Finishing School is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what goes into the making of America's best warriors. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Additionally, I don't think I like the way the book ended, once again seemingly portraying the Middle Western part of the world as "the big villains" of the story. I don't agree with terrorist acts, alright, but I also don't think that the people in it are evil people per se. Some part of that is cultural, most of it is political and, as usual, it's people who suffer the consequences of the most influential. I have seen the same problem in the book SEAL of God, but consider this opinion coming from a person who lives in a country that does not suffer from the threat of an eminent war.
Overall, a pretty good, solid, interesting book. ( )
