Twilight Warriors

Summary: Twilight Writing
Review: "Twilight Warriors" lacks a logical structure and shows some deplorable mistakes. Well-told stories about actions of special forces around the world are interesting to read. But when I have to read, that the terrorist commando involved in the 1977 hijacking of a german Lufthansa-jet, ended by germany?s GSG 9, consisted of two palestinians and two germans (in fact they were all four palestinians), I wonder, how accurate is the rest of the stories?

Review: Arostegui does the entire SOF community a disservice with this grossly inaccurate book. It should be sold as fiction.

Summary: Interesting stories and little accuracy
Review: If you like talking to a drunk guy who tells stories in a half accurate way then this is the book for you. I read this book twice. Once when I first bought it and later when I saw it in my book shelf. Both times I was struck by the unusual amount of detail and the constant inaccuracies. I resold the book and wished that the author had done better. What a waste of money and very frustrating. If you don't know much about special ops then you won't be this appointed. In this case ignorance is bliss.

Summary: A third rate clip job
Review: This book is factually flawed and execrably written. the author can't even spell the names of some of his alleged primary sources (he cites Ron Yaw instead of Ron Yeaw; he cites Bucky Burruws instead of Bucky Burruss). He gets the specifics of the capture of Che Guevara wrong, making Felix Rodriguez a Green Beret instead of what he was, a b-contract foreign national cia agent operating under the cover name Felix Ramos Medina. The Green Beret involved in Che's capture was a Special Forces major named "Pappy" Shelton. he refers to the first co of Delta Force as Colonel "Charles" Beckwith. Beckwith was never known as Charles; he was always Charlie. he uses information from the marcinko bio, rogue warrior, as if he had actually interviewed marcinko, when he is simply appropriating copy from the book. He puts Marcinko on furlough from Petersburg prison in february, 1991, waiting for a federal marshal to take him back to prison. That is just plain fiction writing--and bad fiction at that. When Kuwait was liberated, marcinko was under lock and key at Petersburg. he gets so much information just plain wrong that one wonders whether or not his editors ever did any fact-checking on the manuscript, or ever checked his qualifications to write a book like this. Twilight Warriors is a third rate clip job that never deserved to get published in the first place.
