It's not easy to acquire information about Pete Blaber. That's rather unsurprising, since he spent the better part of his life in the Special Forces and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel before becoming a movie consultant. His book is equal parts of Leadership Guide, military history and action. He takes stories from his military career and shares the guiding principles derived from them along with their relevance and applicability for situations all of us encounter during our life. The book culminates in Pete Blaber's retelling of Operation Anaconda from his perspective, how the application of the principles shared have contributed to the mission and how their disregard by the chain of command has deteriorated the situation.
I had this book on my list for more than 3 years before I got to reading it. I should have done so much earlier than that. Don't make the same mistake.
"The most effective weapon on any battlefield - whether it be combat, business, or life - is our mind's ability to recognize life's underlying patterns."
