Summary: Heartwarming
Comment: Reading "No Room for Error" reminded me of how thankful I am to be a woman who is a citizen of The United States of America. In the pages of "No Room for Error," Carney and Schemmer introduced me to numerous members of the AF Special Tactics units who selflessly gave of themselves to guarantee my freedoms and those of a few billion of my closest friends and relations. The book has something for everyone - the reference information is phenomenal and at times a bit deep for an "outsider"; yet, the recounting of the (not all strictly military) activities and missions brings a smile to the lips and a tear to the eye - all bring a warming of the heart. I worked for a defense contractor for a little over a decade, and had a sense of pride knowing that many of the products produced provided the special edge to help our military. I am privileged to personally know over 100 friends and relatives who have served over the years in various branches of the military, including a few in the Special Operations Forces. War is never an easy topic of discussion. Carney and Schemmer have been able to broach the topic and round out the discussion - all in one book.

Summary: Outstanding book on America's silent warriors!!!!
Comment: I am a combat control apprentice right now and I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Special Operations or just want to understand them better. It is written in a historical format that presented facts more than a dramatic style.
I am very proud to be doing what I am doing after reading this book. It really brings Air Force Special Ops out and presents it for everyone to read. There are still many people in the military including those in the Air Force or don't know what Combat Controllers or PJ's are. Since combat control is such a new unit, news programs often credit other unit forces with tasks that were performed by AFSOC (Air Force Special Operations Command) units.

Summary: Informative, historically accurate, lacks action
Comment: I enjoy military books immensely, and this book seemed right up my alley. I like those books that you can not put down, where you feel like you are right there in the middle of the action. This book, however, is written in a historical manner which presents lots of facts, names and who did this, who went where info. There is very little first-person action where conflicts are described and you feel part of the battle. Great book, well written, just not what I was looking for.
