About this audiobook
Marcinko was almost inhumanly tough, and proved it on hair-raising missions across Vietnam and a war-torn world: blowing up supply junks, charging through minefields, jumping at 19,000 feet with a chute that wouldn't open, fighting hand-to-hand in a hellhole jungle. For the Pentagon, he organized the Navy's first counterterrorist unit: the legendary SEAL TEAM SIX, which went on classified missions from Central America to the Middle East, the North Sea, Africa and beyond.
Then Marcinko was tapped to create Red Cell, a dirty-dozen team of the military's most accomplished and decorated counterterrorists. Their unbelievable job was to test the defenses of the Navy's most secure facilities and installations. The result was predictable: all hell broke loose.
Here is the hero who saw beyond the blood to ultimate justice—and the decorated warrior who became such a maverick that the Navy brass wanted his head on a pole, and for a time, got it. Richard Marcinko—ROGUE WARRIOR.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Sam at the other Richard Marcinko is the greatest Navy Seal that ever lived. In his own mind that is.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5My longest posts are always the ones I liked the least.I'm pretty sure this is the worst book I've read this year at least. Oh my god, it's just packed full of testosterone laden drivel. It's not that he's a macho doofus, I'm a macho doofus. It's that they are painfully juvenile. This is the way it works. Dick Marchencko was a SEAL and did all these tough guy things. No problem. Sounds like the Yank version of Andy Mcnab. However, this series is Dick writing a fictional men's adventure series, like Remo Williams the Destroyer, or Mack Bolan the Executioner (both of which I have read an embarrassingly large amount of, so I'm not new to the realm of men's adventure fiction) except Dick is writing himself as a fictional character. To me, this is just daft as bats.So this whole real person/fictional person thing is weird enough, but they are also written really really badly. They are a lot like the adventure fiction I wrote when I was in high school and I was able to rebel on paper by killing a lot of fictional characters and writing "fuckwad" a lot. Yes, very fierce. Oh, and his "Heart of the Warrior" speeches are as tiresome as when I first heard them in the SCA. Similar to the "What is best in life" speech in Conan.The last pitiful element of the writing is that Dick is always right, and EVERYONE else is always wrong. Not only wrong, but in disagreeing with Dick, they also become evil, weak and cowardly. He isn't sophisticated enough to realize that when all your opponents are pussies, victory is not impressive. This is why I quit fencing in the Outlands.I want my time back.
