At 24 years of age, U.S. Army Ranger Sean Parnell was named commander of a forty-man elite infantry platoon - a unit that came to be known as the Outlaws - and was tasked with rooting out Pakistan-based insurgents from a mountain valley along Afghanistan's eastern frontier. Parnell and his men assumed they would be facing a ragtag bunch of civilians, but in May 2006 what started out as a routine patrol through the lower mountains of the Hindu Kush became a brutal ambush.

Southern Afghanistan was slipping away. That was clear to then-Captain Rusty Bradley as he began his third tour of duty there in 2006. The Taliban and their allies were infiltrating everywhere, poised to reclaim Kandahar Province, their strategically vital onetime capital. To stop them, the NATO coalition launched Operation Medusa, the largest offensive in its history. The battlefield was the Panjwayi Valley, a densely packed warren of walled compounds that doubled neatly as enemy bunkers.

In the predawn hours of March 4, 2002, just below the 10,000-foot peak of a mountain in eastern Afghanistan, a fierce battle raged. Outnumbered by Al Qaeda fighters, Air Force Combat Controller John Chapman and a handful of SEALs struggled to take the summit in a desperate bid to find a lost teammate. Chapman, leading the charge, was gravely wounded in the initial assault. Believing he was dead, his SEAL leader ordered a retreat. Chapman regained consciousness, alone with the enemy closing in on three sides, beginning the most difficult and exceptional fight of his life.

In 2009 Clinton Romesha of Red Platoon and the rest of the Black Knight Troop were preparing to shut down Command Outpost Keating, the most remote and inaccessible in a string of bases built by the US military in Nuristan and Kunar in the hope of preventing Taliban insurgents from moving freely back and forth between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Three years after Keating's construction, the army was finally ready to concede what the men on the ground had known immediately: It was simply too isolated and too dangerous to defend.

Must Read for Comfortable, Non-combatant Americans

Publisher's 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.

- One of those books that truly make a difference
The subject of Special Forces has always intrigued me. Having served in the Marine Corps for 10 years as an Infantry Assaultman - there's always been certain mustique and I often question "what would have that been like" or "would I have had what it takes" At this point, that is a questions that will never be answered. However, vicariously - through this book, we all get a small glimpse of what that might have been like - even if just in the audio book form. But as I read further, this book turned out to be much more then a war story (there are plenty of those out there) This book - completely hooked me in - just by the fact it talked about Delta and before I knew it... it turned out to be a story of hope. I dont like to talk about my service and there are days that the memories hurt so bad that I despise them And at the same time, I despise the fact that I'm no longer there. It's weird, some days are better than another's, but some days or a living nightmare. Well... Here's a book written by a guy, who came right out and said it... Everything I've been struggling with for years. And what's more, is that he may have found a way out. So... maybe there IS a way out. Thank you Tom - for a bit of hope. I hope our paths cross someday.

UNFORGETTABLE
Amazing story of a true American hero who spent most of his life on a razors edge between life and death.
Spending 20 years with the most elite military unit expecting to die everyday would undoubtedly take an immense toll. Tom Satterly pulls you in and gives you a glimpse into that life as well as the physical and mental cost that can never be repaid.

A Veteran and Active MUST listen.
First of all,
Thank you Tom Satterly for speaking out about your experiences. Thank you for your service to our country.
This was a book, at anytime in my life and in any moment... this was the perfect book I needed to listen too.
As a marine veteran who struggled with alcohol and adjusting to a civilian lifestyle, to the difficulties of being a “role model” father to his children and the best husband that his wife deserves, THIS BOOK is what I needed to listen too.
I felt the heaviness of tears as I heard your experiences and struggles Tom as it reminds me of my own. To a rock bottom moment that almost ended my life, too the rising moments from the ashes I crawled out from, to finding Christ, and still trying to deal with the on going war in my mind.
You gave me the courage I needed to keep fighting my demons and continue to reach out for help when I need it the most and help others struggling in the same boots I once wore.
I NEEDED THIS BOOK.
THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME CONTINUE THE FIGHT AGAINST PTS.

Great eye opening book.
This book starts out hard and fast. Filled with military deployment story after story. It’s interesting to hear about how the elite tier 1 operators train around the world. It sprinkles in some talk about PTS but then right back to an exciting story... then it kicks you in the chest as hard as ever. Talking about how PTS affects our warriors and their fight against invisible scars, drinking, drugs, and suicide. To every veteran out there, thank you for your service and dedication. To their wives and significant others I never thought about your trauma and for that I’m sorry for not thinking about the other half that’s has to deal with the grief as well. Thank you as well!!

Every cliche you can think of.
I'll preface my review by saying this isn't the first book on the topic that I've read, and I have actual first hand experience in dealing with being forward deployed. the author spends pretty much the entire book trying to convince you that they are the most elite special force in the military, while continuously highlighting their shortcomings. then to fill in the gaps, the repeated sights, sounds, and smells of war happen over, and over, and over, and over until I couldn't take anymore and I just turned it off. it's probably a great read if you're a civilian, but if you have any actual military experience you'll probably see right through the BS 3/4 of the way in the book.

Inspiring and a must listen to!
A unique opportunity for the listener, being able to listen to one of our nation's greatest warriors tell his story.
What makes this book so wonderful is that Tom doesn't sugarcoat his story, you learn about all his flaws, mistakes, as well as his strengths. But what is truly inspiring is that he tells the truth, he lets his guard down, and the real hero of this book is his wife, Jen, and Tom makes it clear that without a strong woman in his life, we wouldn't have this book.
He keeps fighting to this day and continues to serve his Country, by helping other Veterans in need.
Our Nation is forever indebted to individuals like Tom, who have lived a life of service and never give up. God speed my friend.

One of the best books on PTS"D"
Simply put, Tom's experience & his continued efforts to help special operations veterans (& all veterans) battle PTS us truly inspirational & his dedication to the mission is beyond commendable. The work he does to this day & I'm sure he will continue to do for the remainder of his life with his organization "The All Secure Foundation" Charity & Organization has impacted MANY lives. I was not a special forces veteran, I was an infantry grunt & R.O in the Marines but THIS book by far helped me sort out my post combat issues A LOT! Tom & his wife Jen Slattery have definitely helped me with thier organization(All Secure Foundation) & all the speaking events they do and the writing of this book immensely!
This book is invaluable for ANYONE suffering from combat PTS! The way he goes through his experiences as a top tier Warrior & how that life bled into and effected his personal life & most importantly his relationships was clearly detailed in this great read! I can't recommend it enough to ALL Veterans and to the Veterans Affairs Hospital Therapists, Psychiatrists, and Psychologists who treat us at the Veterans Hospitals! It should be required reading for both veterans and those who treat us!
Very few books have directly impacted my life...and THIS is one of them!
PS: Jen Slattery also co-wrote a book from the perspective of the people that combat veterans hurt the most (besides themselves)... thier Spouses and I highly recommend that book: "Arsenal Of Hope" as a companion to this one!

Amazingly truthful
Very open book, where the desire, pain to get to the elite comes with the cost of his very self!
The journey to regain himself and his centre is the hardest mission of his life…this time without instructions or support.
We need more of these honest and open people to make the changes to a broken system!

A story that all veterans need to hear
This was an incredible story. Listening to Tom tell the horrors of what he went through, but so factually and dispassionately, it really brings home how surreal the ask is on warriors. But the real learning, and one I had experience with, was the lack of after-care, or how badly mental health is understood, by the military. I really hope Tom's foundation makes real improvements in this regard.

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!

Great book from a real Hero
Great book, great recount of Tom’s life. So many things people don’t realise what actually happens in war and out of war just protecting their own day to day existence. And of course the unfortunate toll that the soldiers pay to keep us in our comfortable lives, a toll that cannot ever be rewarded. We owe it to them to listen at the very bare minimum.
The book is well read by Tom at a good pace and keeps you gripped until the end.
He is very honest in himself.
More surprisingly I found myself adjusting some views I had taken on various actions taken around the world! Everyone can condemn actions until they see the reality of the situation, and nobody ever really wants to see that!!! People just love to take the moral high ground from the top down view - when the problem starts at the bottom going up.
Thanks Tom,
And good luck with the All secure foundation, I for one will be supporting you and wishing you the best.

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...

unbelievable
I laughed. I cried. I got angry. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. what a journey this book takes you on. hard to believe it was time life. also hard to believe how these guys are treated when they leave the military. I sat in my car for hours just listening I could not turn it off. I've never heard something. So compounding and authentic and emotional in all my life. God bless this man. Thank you story.
