Send Me: A Soldier’s Story: The Story of Chief Warrant Officer Three Mike Dean USA (RET), Former Member of the Unit—America’s Most Secret Special Operations Team

by Mike Dean

"The brightest colors woven on history’s tapestry are those that teach us how to overcome trials and serve others in such a way as to elevate their lives to great heights of human accomplishment while, in the process, giving glory to our Maker.

Part novel, part memoir, part history lesson, Send A Soldier’s Story seeks to draw you in, inform you, and then inspire you.

“Every soldier’s story is unique. This one is mine. What I offer you is the story of a young marine who, after transferring to the US Navy, served aboard the USS John F. Kennedy; faced the challenges later in the army as a young warrant officer of Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm; and afterward served in military intelligence, where he found himself knee-deep within the Activity—America’s most secret Special Operations Team.”

More of a personal memoir than a book about ISA

I originally read this based on the ISA crest on the cover, thinking it would be an unclassified overview of probably the most secretive unit in the US military - ISA. This was much more someone's personal career memoir and very little of it focused on ISA (where he worked in some support capacity); if you are primarily interested in ISA, this isn't really worth reading -- Killer Elite is the only decent choice.

Waste of money and time

Had absolutely nothing to do about his time in "the unit" and even everything else he wrote about was a pure snooze fest 😴 🙄

An interesting autobiography from a fellow Hoosier. He shares a few of his war stories from his time as a Marine, Sailor and Soldier. Would like to know more about "The Unit" he was a part of, but apparently he can't talk about that!
