About this product

Product Information

At the age of eighteen, Aaron Cohen left Beverly Hills to prove himself in the crucible of the armed forces. He was determined to be a part of Israel's most elite security cadre, akin to the American Green Berets and Navy SEALs. After fifteen months of grueling training designed to break down each individual man and to rebuild him as a warrior, Cohen was offered the only post a non-Israeli can hold in the special forces. In 1996 he joined a top-secret, highly controversial unit that dispatches operatives disguised as Arabs into the Palestinian-controlled West Bank to abduct terrorist leaders and bring them to Israel for interrogation and trial. Between 1996 and 1998, Aaron Cohen would learn Hebrew and Arabic; become an expert in urban counterterror warfare, the martial art of Krav Maga, and undercover operations; and participate in dozens of life-or-death missions. He would infiltrate a Hamas wedding to seize a wanted terrorist and pose as an American journalist to set a trap for one of the financiers behind the Dizengoff Massacre, taking him down in a brutal, hand-to-hand struggle. A propulsive, gripping read, Cohen's story is a rare, fly-on-the-wall view into the shadowy world of "black ops" that redefines invincible strength, true danger, and inviolable security.

Brotherhood of Warriors by Aaron Cohen
I enjoyed reading the book becasue it gave insights into a man's life choices - how he moved away from the Hollywood scene and found his life's work. I didn't like the constant use of crude military language, e.g., the "f" word and other such literary garbage. It didn't add anything to the book, and it prevents me from recommending it to anyone. Also, I am always surprised at the typical Jewish person's lack of "God-centeredness" or awareness of God's special place in their history or their future. It's all about "them" and not about their faith and reliance on God. Curious. On a different note, Cohen's assessment of the US's approach to homeland security is chilling.

Up close & personal with Israel's Counter Terror forces
I received this book as a Father's Day gift on Sunday and finished it this morning, the following day. That's not a testament to my reading skills. Rather, it speaks to the gripping quality of this story which follows the life of an American who moves to Israel in order to serve in the IDF. From the opening pages describing a massacre by a Palestinian terrorist at an Israeli shopping mall to his troubled youth and subsequent training to become a Spec Ops operative, the reader is subjected to bone-chilling descriptions that are foreign to most Americans. The child of a divorced family, Cohen is sent to a Canadian military school out of his mother's desperation. The structure and attention he has ached for serves him well and provides him with a road to inspiration. From his first dealing with customs agents he quickly understands and relishes that he is to live a life for which he has had little preparation. His life on the pre-military service kibbutz would be enough for most people to endure but is a walk in the proverbial desert compared to what follows after he finally joins the military. Page after page flies by as he colorfully describes his training and actual service. He holds back nothing and you will learn to swear equally well in Hebrew as well as English. Let's be truthful: you won't be reading Shakespeare, that's for certain. If you're looking for a romanticized version of the genuine suffering endured by those that defend Israel by becoming part of that country's elite counter-terrorism force, forget it. This is about blood and guts and it is relentless save for the few passages where he tells us about an older woman named Golda who serves as a surrogate mother 7,500 miles from home. Of great interest is his life after service back in America where he confronts the demons that are a direct result of his training and service. Whereas we in American have been socialized into believing that post-traumatic stress is a life-long condition, impossible to surmount, Cohen's fight to retrieve a normal life is inspiring and in many ways as griping as the training that got him to that state. I highly recommend this page turner. He has advice for this country that needs to be heeded. He makes us take a good long look at ourselves and our resolve regarding terrorism. He makes us painfully aware of our renewed 9/10 nonchalance and the danger that lies within that attitude. Buy the book and start a lending chain or, better yet, buy multiple copies to present to the woefully uninformed.Read full review
