books by Dick Couch     books:       The Warrior Elite: The Forging of SEAL Class 22890 reviews Dick Couch Three Rivers Press, 2003 Outstanding!!! I thought that I knew alot about the Navy SEALS and their training, but boy was I wrong. Dick Couch did a great job at taking us from day one at Indoc of 114 gung-ho soldiers, down to the last remaining 20 that actually made it through and were secured by the BUD/S staff. This was a quick read, mostly because i refused to put it down. I felt like I was in there with the soldiers, sweating and ...             Chosen Soldier: The Making of a Special Forces Warrior37 reviews Dick Couch Three Rivers Press, 2008 Best I have read! This is a really wonderful work. I believe it and experienced the ups and downs of every character. I know someone in the Special Forces and followed closely their selection experience. I learned much more from this book. I paid particular attention to the officer selection process as this is one of the few places anything is mentioned about that selection process. I look forward to seeing ...             Down Range: Navy SEALs in the War on Terrorism28 reviews Dick Couch Three Rivers Press, 2006 Humbling to Read About Such Dedicated Service Apart from being exciting and informative,it is impossible to put down this book without the utmost respect for the men serving our country (and indeed all of mankind) in the world's most dangerous places. This is real, these men are heroes, and we must all hope that they succeed in their missions. Clearly, we couldn't put our hopes in any better warriors.             Pressure Point3 reviews Dick Couch Pocket Star, 2006 If you like Clancy, you should love Couch I love the technothriller. I love special operations type adventure novels. This one is a pretty darn good read. One of my favs of the genre. Terrorists seize a Washington state ferry to help seize a Trident nuke sub to threaten a China syndrome at sea. Delta Force, Army Rangers and a ' direct action ' SEAL platoon get activated to snatch it back and prevent a nuclear / environmental disaster. ...             The Mercenary Option8 reviews Dick Couch Pocket, 2003 Exciting Book! After his son is killed in the 9-11 attacks Joe Simpson,a wealthy industrialist decides to take action.He forms the Intervention Force (IFOR).This organization has no government ties. The American President decides to build a pipeline across Afghanistan.A Saudi Prince wants to halt this project because it will threaten the power of the Saudi oil industry.He hires former KGB terror master ...             U.s. Armed Forces Nuclear, Biological And Chemical Survival Manual20 reviews John Boswell Basic Books, 2003 Vital Info As someone who served in the Army, I have had plenty of NBC training and can say that this book is something that everyone should take the time to read. In fact I learned even more from this book because it is presented in a way that anyone can understand, and it is targeted for use by the civilian population. READ IT, it may save your life one day.             The Finishing School: Earning the Navy SEAL Trident19 reviews Dick Couch Three Rivers Press, 2005 Good, not great I thought the Finishing School was interesting, but nowhere near as good as the Warrior Elite. I think the Warrior Elite is also a book about courage, determination, perseverance, etc., that has the potential to appeal to a broader base of people, whereas the Finishing School will probably only appeal to people who are very interested in the SEALS/special forces.             Covert Action11 reviews Dick Couch Pocket Star, 2005 good africa stuff dick couch is an underrated writer;he is p[roducing some very good stuff! i really enjoyed covert action. i had just reread the dogs of war, and this was a good followup. i recommend covert action and all t6he ifor novels.             Seal Team One3 reviews Dick Couch Naval Institute Press, 2008 Best Seal Novel Dick Couch was a REAL navy Seal officer, (vs the usual phoneys who are crawling out of the woodwork). This is probably the best novel ever written about Viet Nam seal operations. I rate it up there with "The Element of Surprise" with "Element" being possible the best non-fiction book. Couch's other fiction books are , unfortunatly not as good.             Sheriff of Ramadi2 reviews Dick Couch Naval Institute Press, 2008 An interesting avenue of the Navy SEALs and their role in winning al-Anbar I just finished the reading of this book, and it was amazing! Although this book is not primarily focused on the hard battles won by the Navy SEALs but rather about their role in supporting the conventional forces in al-Anbar province and all of the ball busting work associated with it. It was interesting how Mr. Couch approached this topic with the notion that the war in Ramadi was being lost, ...             Rising Wind9 reviews Dick Couch Avon, 1998 An excellent suspense thriller This was a good read, one that often compels you to read just one more chapter before the light goes off. This one has a lot going on during the tale. Japanese militant terrorists, Navy SEALs, hostages, plenty of military hardware, generals, admirals, a few pretty brutal parts, a daring rescue mission - the workds. I liked the bonding between the Japanese Defense Force commando unit and the ...             Silent Descent1 review Dick Couch Berkley, 1994 A great action/adventure novel I read Silent Descent a few years ago, but I remember it prefectly. It was the first novel I ever read by Couch and I found it to be thoroughly enjoyable. Couch has a knack for making you care about the characters in his books which makes the books all the more exciting and suspensefull. If you read this book you have to read Rising Wind which is the sequel. These two books are incredible, ...              search for books action, armed, biological, chemical, chosen, class, covert, descent, earning, finishing, forces, forging, making, manual, mercenary, nuclear, option, point, pressure, ramadi, rising, school, sheriff, silent, soldier, special, survival, terrorism, trident, warrior books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
