@pawz recommended this book somewheres, maybe the late @creepycoug's shitty bored. Anyhow, really good, thanks.
I just got done reading this too. Thank you @pawz. I appreciated how Voss acknowledged (unlike most business books) that there *is* quite a bit of emotion involved in negotiating. I almost wish we could do this as a book club selection.
Book club selection...
How am I supposed to do that?
Yore* the mod, make it so.
Ps,
How am I supposed to accept that answer when you organized the last book club read?
Book club read...
You can hang on your own ellipses*... ANSWER THE QUESTION!
*NTSD technique noted
Nice to meet you, my name is Grundle. I'd sure like to do that, it's a fair request, but I simply have used all my bandwidth.
*Late night DJ voice* @pawz is gone now. I’m Doog__de_Jour, you’ll be talking to me now.
If Iº were to do another book clerb, I think this would be the book. However, since we do not deal in hypotheticals, I'll give my own little report.
This book is relatively low on engagement, or rather, engrossing. I wasn't itching to pick it back up every time. It's rather weighty and perhaps not best suited for audiobook.
However, informative and challenging.
The author claims to have been a standard issue proggies prior to working on this subject. Now he says he's more independent minded.
The basis of the book are his moral foundations theory, consisting of 6 factors.
Care v. Harm
Liberty v. Oppression
Fairness v. Cheating
Loyalty v. Betrayal
Authority v. Subversion
Sanctity v. Degradation
He claims that Liberal politicians do better on the first 3, while largely ignoring the last 3, where Republicans do far better.
Eh, I'm already out of steam on this one.
I did not see the reviews on GoodReads prior to reading. Some progressives kinda butt hurt there.
A political and operational history of Joint Special Operations Command. Really good book. It starts with, naturally, the creation of JSOC following Operation Eagle Claw. After the first-third of book or so, kicks into military pr0n describing operations. Big chunk of book covers Iraq & Afghanistan. One of the most notable things for me is that this is most I've ever read listened about Delta Force, the D Boys if you will. The SEALs got most of the free pub.
On a scale of 1 = I hate America and 10 = Ooorah!, this book probably comes in around 5.5 - 6. It's gracious to frontline individuals but unafraid to criticism leadership, strategy and certain tactics.
Memoir by Nathaniel Fick, the featured lieutenant from Generation Kill. Good, quick read. Fills in what that group did in Afghanistan, which is hinted at in GenK.

SEALs are great at self promotion. You don’t hear much from former Delta operators.

Interviewed a former SEAL for a position recently.
Dude walked on his own water. May have got the job done but the carnage in his wake wouldn't have been worth it.
Plowed (lulz) through this unironically during the Great Heat Wave. It has same the common foibles of the genre, presuming a lot of the mindset of people long since dead. However, the subject is complete wheelhouse for me. Skrong recommend.

People forget Cameron Crowe bagged Nancy Wilson at the peak of her 80's hotness.
People forget that.
