Pete Blaber commanded at every level of Delta Force, executing vital missions across the globe including destroying the largest pocket of Al Qaeda forces to date and helping to hasten the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq. He lives in Santa Monica, California.
Praise for The Mission, the Men, and Me
“His thesis is that there aren't that many different situations in
life, and there aren't that many different ways of dealing with
them—have a few, simple principles, and, when in doubt, refer to
them. He’s a stoic with a sense of humor, and I very much enjoyed
his book.”—David Mamet, Pulitzer Prize-winning American playwright,
essayist, screenwriter, and film director
“Blaber presents his hard-won principles of leadership and
illustrates them with intense personal stories and accounts of
leadership amidst chaotic modern warfare. The leadership principles
ring true and have a commonsense appeal. Also, the ‘peek behind the
curtain’ look at Delta should please fans of special
operations.”—Small Wars Journal
“Should be required reading for all flag-rank officers. Required,
because it codifies in simple, accessible language the concepts
that will allow us to adapt, overcome and prevail in 21st-century
warfare, whether it be asymmetric in nature and unconventional in
approach, or along the classical Land-War models. And required
because Lt. Col. Blaber demonstrates through multiple empirical
examples why flexibility, audacity, situational awareness and
preparation are superior to rigid, formulaic doctrine-influenced
operational planning.”—The Washington Times
