When I'm busy working in the shop or hitting the gym, I love to listen to books. However, sometimes the monotonous tone can make it hard to stay engaged, especially when the narrator is reading the narrative or quoting someone. Nevertheless, I found "Civilian Warriors: The Inside Story of Blackwater and the Unsung Heroes of the War on Terror" to be an intriguing and worthwhile listen.
My dad actually gifted me this book, and it's worth mentioning that I was coming of age during the period when all of these incidents were taking place. I have to admit, I was completely captivated by the content. I didn't approach this read with the intention of altering my viewpoint, but I must say, it had a profound impact on my perspective, particularly when it comes to understanding the dynamics of bipartisan efforts and military initiatives.
When I first started listening to this book, I was willing to hear out the author's story. However, my opinion quickly changed when he openly admitted to having a child with his nanny while his wife was in a critical condition. It became apparent that he was a privileged individual who relied on his family's wealth rather than his own abilities as a Navy SEAL. Unfortunately, my admiration for him completely vanished when he confessed to betraying his incurably sick wife by being unfaithful. This revelation shattered any remaining respect I had for the author.
Do you think you would give 'Civilian Warriors: The Inside Story of Blackwater and the Unsung Heroes of the War on Terror' another listen? If so, what would be the reason for that?
If you're into military and paramilitary history, this audiobook is definitely worth checking out. It might not be completely objective, but it offers a one-of-a-kind perspective.
This audiobook offers a highly probable account of events, narrated by someone with direct knowledge. It is truly outstanding! (but beware of potential bias)
