Publisher's summary

Authors Robin Moore and Michael Lennon team up in this exciting new novel to tell the "fictionalized" stories of the men who have risked it all for the U.S.A.: the Green Berets. They take us from firefights on the Cambodian border during the Vietnam War to the streets and alleyways of Iraq today. They teach us what it was really like to patrol the streets of Mogadishu in the days of Black Hawk Down. They show the horror that was Saddam's Iraq during the first Gulf War. They take us to the moonscape that is Afghanistan in search of the Taliban. The Wars of the Green Berets continues the saga of Moore's classic The Green Berets, revealing more than a few tantalizing secrets and anecdotes for the first time.

Collage level book report

This book was more of a collage term paper. It had a strong feeling of needing a more personal level of interaction with the reader. If you like the history of war it’s a great read. If you want a personal recount of a soldiers actions and adventure go elsewhere.

Robot Narrator

The story content is great. It was hard getting past the narrator's robotic tones, and lack of military knowledge. If you are going to narrate a military book, please have knowledge on military terminology.

Bad Narrator, good story

The overall story is a good one if you like historical narratives of army life and combat. That being said, the narrator was clearly spoken and easy to listen to as the story goes. However, the narrator does not know how to read or navigate correctly through Army acronyms. This is imperative when reading a story like this as it takes away from the enjoy ability of the book, especially for former military. It grates on my nerves. Enjoy the book, it’s good.

Review of narrator

Narrator was not good for the book. Also explaining the acronym is good but then he would pronounce each letter every time instead of just saying it (i.e. would say GEN instead of General). good book with great stories of dedicated Soldiers and hero's.

Great book

Great book the only issue I had was spelling out all the acronym for ranks and certain others that are read out but all in all great story.

The Wars of the Green Berets

Completely understand why this book is in the “plus/included” column— the narrator can’t read! Other than that, it’s a decent set of stories.

Great book, horrid narration

Great book providing a glimpse into the Army Special Forces world. Moore clearly developed and maintained a long term rapport that paid off when he set out to write this book.
The narration very nearly killed the audiobook version. Anyone reading a book like this for audio either needs to be familiar with military terms, acronyms and abbreviations, or they really need a good coach to get them up to speed.

Subseequently C-P-T Smith

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Very interesting story, but I couldn't finish it because of the horrendous narration. The guy kept spelling out every abbreviation... C-P-T and S-S-G-T, rather than Captain or Staff Sergeant. T-O-W missile, instead of tow missle. But the kicker is pronouncing "subsequently" as "sub see quently". Get a narrator that speaks English and has some understanding of military terminology.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Tori Kamal?

Any literate corporal

Great stories that all Americanshould know.

Perfect lengths of chapters stuffed with well narrated stories. Just wish the narrater could pronounce more of the words properly and just say General instead of G E N so and so. wasted time with always spelling out an abbreviation instead of just saying what it’s for. overall though awesome jib thank you!

Awesome book, but narration will kill you.

The book is great, and the narrators voice isn’t horrible, but please get someone familiar with military acronyms. If I hear C P T instead of Captain, M S G instead of Master Sergeant, S I G I N T instead of Sigint, etc etc, one more time… I’m going to cuss.
