Clint Emerson

This was an advance reader copy that I read on the kindle. The format for this was absolutely horrific. No page numbers (Everything was referred to as page 000), pictures constantly in the wrong places, and for some reason all instances of the letters "fi" and "fl" were removed from the book which made reading about fire particularly annoying. I understand it wasn't a finished version, but this was just sloppy.

For the actual information in the book.. it is pretty generic. Except for a few sections about celestial navigation and first aid, it is generally common knowledge. (drink lots of water if it is hot, be aware of surroundings and avoid dangerous areas). If you were going to keep a copy of this book in a storage area as a guide, probably something more in depth would be helpful, such as a boy scout handbook.

Excellent book by retired Navy Seal Clint Emerson. Not your average, macho, "I'm tougher than you" tale. Emerson comes across as an introspective, intelligent man who probably would have succeeded in any endeavor he attempted. Thankfully, he decided to put his talents to work to serve our country. This is an easy, fast read. Emerson keeps the story moving at a fast pace, not bogging it down with lots of unnecessary acronyms or minute detail. The book is worth reading if just for his insights into Saudi Arabia (I won't spoil it for you).
We are lucky to have men like Emerson, to watch over us and protect us from harm. I wish I could meet him to thank him personally!… (lisätietoja)
