This was an interesting little book about Aaron Cohen and his time in the secretive Israeli special forces unit called ‘Sayeret Duvdevan’. What I liked about the book was the Israeli point of view about counter terrorism. That, and how they conducted operations in the territories.
Mr. Cohen made some pretty interesting observations about the current state of the US counter terrorism strategy here CONUS. He makes some excellent points about the necessary mindset needed to combat a terrorist. I would have liked to have read some more about tactics and mindset, but mostly this book was a biographical of Mr. Cohen. What makes him an interesting story, is that he was raised in America, yet he was able to climb the ranks into Israeli Special Forces in Israel as a volunteer.
