The Wars of the Green Berets

Amazing Stories from Vietnam to the Present Day

By: Robin Moore, Michael Lennon

Narrated by: Tori Kamal

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.©2007 Robin Moore and Michael Lennon (P)2012 Audible, Inc.

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.

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.

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.

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

Very informative

Great stuff from multiple decades of conflicts… I liked how they jumped around but kept the flow pretty good.
