Summary

One of the most highly regarded Tier One Delta Force operators in American military history shares his war stories and personal battle with PTSD.

As a senior non-commissioned officer of Delta Force, the most elite and secretive special operations unit in the US military, Command Sergeant Major Tom Satterly fought some of this country's most fearsome enemies. Over the course of 20 years and thousands of missions, he's fought desperately for his life, rescued hostages, killed and captured terrorist leaders, and seen his friends maimed and killed around him.

All Secure is in part Tom's journey into a world so dark and dangerous that most Americans can't contemplate its existence. It recounts what it is like to be on the front lines with one of America's most highly trained warriors. As action-packed as any fiction thriller, All Secure is an insider's view of "The Unit".

Tom is a legend even among other Tier One special operators. Yet the enemy that cost him three marriages, and ruined his health physically and psychologically, existed in his brain. It nearly led him to kill himself in 2014; but for the lifeline thrown to him by an extraordinary woman it might have ended there. Instead, they took on Satterly's most important mission - saving the lives of his brothers and sisters in arms who are killing themselves at a rate of more than 20 a day.

Told through Satterly's firsthand experiences, it also weaves in the reasons - the bloodshed, the deaths, the intense moments of sheer terror, the survivor's guilt, depression, and substance abuse - for his career-long battle against the most insidious enemy of all: post-traumatic stress. With the help of his wife, he learned that by admitting his weaknesses and faults he sets an example for other combat veterans struggling to come home.

Amazing

Very powerful. Gripping combat stories but also impactive around Mental Health and the effects of it. I smashed through this Audiobook and would re-listen to it in the future!

Not an ordinary book

Amongst the myriad of military book's you could so easily pass this by and I'm glad I didn't.

it's the best book I have listened to, gripping, honest and highly thought provoking.

Don't pass it by.

Outstanding.

Straight up, honest book, detailing one soldiers career journey and what a journey that was.

Read Well, it eases you through his incredible journey, including all the warning signs along the way and his eventual head on collision when reality caught up.

For many, it will be easy to identify parts of their own journey within their own military careers.
Sadly, lots will have had similar mental issues to deal with later, which were left unattended, so as not to look weak whilst in the green salad suit.

Many also will understand the loss of friends/collegues within the theatre of war and many more lost once home.

Couldnt recommend this book more...

Courage takes so many forms!

Heartbreaking and inspiring. Tom's story is much more than a catalogue of his heroic deeds, remarkable as they are.

Excellent

A phenomenal account of warfighting and the after effects of post traumatic stress.

The book follows CSM Satterly through his Delta force training, then into his first deployment in Somalia in 1993 and took part in the battle of Mogadishu, Operation Gothic Serpent (Black Hawk Down).

I wont reveal any more other than it is an insightful look into what combat does to even the toughest warriors and the effects it has on home life during service and afterwards.

A must read/listen.
