Acerca de esta escucha

For more than half a century, Special Forces and CIA legend Billy Waugh dedicated his life to tracking down and eliminating America's most virulent enemies. Operating from the darkest shadows and most desolate corners of the world, he made his mark in many of the most important operations in the annals of US Spec Ops. He spent seven and a half years behind enemy lines in Vietnam as a member of a covert group of elite commandos. He trailed Osama Bin Laden in Khartoum in the early '90s and would have killed the terrorist kingpin if his superiors had allowed it. And at the age of 72, he marched through the frozen high plains of Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. Hunting the Jackal is the astonishing true account of the singular career of a courageous soldier in his nation's shadow wars - including his pivotal role in the previously untold story of the capture of the most infamous and elusive assassin in history, Carlos the Jackal.

Gripping

It's good solid stuff. Meat and potatoes read. Saw some reviews complaining about how he didnt delve enough into the emotions of xyz, introspection, philosophy, etc. What made him so effective is he didnt waste time delving into all that. He just got things done. For an audience like myself I liked his pace and perspective on just doing the job because he wanted, it needed to be done, and doing it well. As a younger guy its interesting to see a full spectrum of old to new ways of doing things and how a solid foundation can serve a man well for decades. Cheers to you, Billy.

Awesome story of a real American hero!

I first read about Billy Waugh in the John Plaster book SOG which was all about the Studies and Observations Group deep in denied, enemy territory in the Vietnam conflict, and thought "I need to read more about this guy!" a combat infantryman myself I was thoroughly impressed with his actions and his grit. However good Mr. Plaster's book was, it was only about action in Vietnam. I had no idea about the rest of what this beast of war did in his life, I mean a 71 year old tromping around the Tora Bora mountains killing terrorists on his hunt for Bin Laden? you can't make that kind of fortitude up! Thank you for your service Mr. Waugh, you are a true hero.

Superhuman

I am thoroughly astounded by the abilities of some humans. I am not one of those people, so I am thankful for those that are.

Worth Reading

Very good Special Forces/SOG , no B.S. story. Colorful language at times which fits right in. Very well narrated. 👏
Glad I did not overlook this one.
Well done!

Billy Waugh is a bad ass

Joe Barrett has narrated a couple books I really enjoyed so I decided to get this book. I’m glad I did because it was a great book! Billy Waugh reviews many years of hard work in tons of different parts of the world and its very interesting. I would definitely recommend this book.

Average to above average

could have been a bit more descriptive and extended a bit in detail/specifics. Narrative voice needed to be speed up. But decent listen.

Interesting chronicle of one persons experiences since Korean war

Book and narration are both good. Yes there is profanity, but what do you expect from a book about war. Also interesting from a Geo political sense, the United States in battle with other nations and especially the part about hunting Carlos the jackal and what the US could do and could not do.
