Armored cars, burner phones, top-notch weaponry, and top-secret missions - this is the life of today's private military contractor. Like author Simon Chase, many PMCs were once the world's top military operatives, and since retiring from outfits like US Navy SEAL TEAM Six and the UK's Special Boat Service, they have devoted their lives to executing missions too sensitive for the government to acknowledge. Chase reveals here for the first time the operations too hazardous and politically volatile to be officially sanctioned by his employers.

Out of the countless military, PMC, and OGA-related audiobooks I've immersed myself in, this masterpiece stands head and shoulders above the rest, captivating my senses and leaving an indelible mark. The book is a symphony of words, flawlessly composed and accurately depicting the reality of our line of work. Whether you possess a military background or are blissfully unaware of the incredible feats performed by men and women across the globe, this audiobook is an essential addition to your collection, ensuring peaceful slumber untainted by the nightmares of chaos. The narrator, a refined British gentleman, charmed me with his impeccable delivery. His voice, neither too harsh nor grating, flowed effortlessly, like a harmonious melody embracing the essence of the story. It was a match made in literary heaven, especially considering the author's roots in the UK. This audiobook, in all its brilliance, is akin to the finest I've ever experienced – the crème de la crème, leaving an intoxicating high unmatched by any other.

Blackwater is one of the most misunderstood companies of our time. As Erik Prince, its founder and former CEO, writes: "Hundreds of American citizens employed by private military contractors, or PMCs, would lose their lives helping our government wage wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, only to have their memory tarnished by the unfair and/or ignorant depiction of PMCs as profiteers, jackbooted thugs, or worse."

This exceptional literary work presents an abundance of information that reveals our deep-seated patriotism and reverence for the American flag, under the skilled guidance of the distinguished leader Erik Prince. Conversely, it also highlights the pervasive corruption within our government, and delivers this disheartening revelation through a reputable and dependable source.

Unlike many other books on lie detection and behavioral analysis, this revolutionary guide reveals the FBI-developed practice of elicitation, the field-tested technique for detecting deception and encouraging people to provide information they would otherwise keep secret. Now you can learn this astonishing method directly from the expert who created this technique and pioneered it for the FBI.

Love this book, Some information over laped from his previous book, but still a great read. Narrator is superb. I Personally can't get into audio books if narration has an annoying, raspy voice.
