Summary: Revealing
Comment: Though this book can't really teach mental toughness, it does reveal much of interest such as: only about 15 per cent of US combat soldiers in WWII actually fired their weapons during encounters with the enemy; the best combat soldiers tend to come from stable family backgrounds; good combat soldiers generally have a higher IQ than those who buckle under fire. There is also some interesting stuff on counter-terrorist psychology and riot control. There is no other book like this on the market (I think), and it does give a detailed introduction into how the mind plays its part in winning wars. A good starting place before moving on to more academic studies.

Summary: Simply useless.
Comment: I've bought this book 'cause is one of the few talking about mental conditioning and training (this is also the reason for the second star on my rate!) involved in elite units. I've served the Italian Navy Spec. forces and i've passed a lot of "bad" days because i was very young and i didn't know anything about mental strenght...
NOTHING OF ALL THIS STUFF IS IN THIS BOOK! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY, YOUR TIME AND YOUR ENERGY with this mixture of informations catched around.
A lot of commonsense sentences, big tactical mistakes, wrong names (COMBUSIN instead of COM.SUB.IN. !!)), useless relaxing techniques which make you like the fool of the village.
Search, study, experiment, try on your skin and then tell : "I'm ready to read a book to sharp my edge", and start the loop again, for all your life.
Simply another useless book.
Rating: 5
Summary: Good read!
Comment: A good general introduction to the psychological training of soldiers for combat. Some interesting stuff on leadership and combat intelligence, and a solid profile of how realistic training prepares the mind for actual combat. Also a revealing chapter on counter-insurgency warfare which also looks into the personality of the typical terrorist as well as the character required for combatting insurgents. Recommended.
