biografija -e ž (ȋ) popis življenja kake osebe, življenjepis
vôjnozgodovínski -a -o prid. (ó-ȋ) nanašajoč se na zgodovino vojne
Biografije predstavljajo velik del moje knjižne police, branje o velikih ljudeh mi prinaša znanje in inspiracijo. Vojnozgodovinske biografije tu še posebej izstopajo. Noben načrt ne preživi prvega stika s sovražnikom. V stresu vojne pozamezniki pokažejo svoj pravi jaz. V vojni ni blefa, ni romantike, je samo pomeznik izpostavljen kolesju vojne.
Ris opisuje le delček Lukovega življenja in se ne dotika nobene vojne, a je vendarle polnokrvna vojna biografija. V knjigi ni strategije, ni taktike, ni motivacijskih govorov in ni stavkov, ki bi spreminjali življenja, a hkrati je Ris vse to - knjiga, ki nudi dober vpogled v delovanje Enote za specialno delovanje, skozi preproste Lukove besede pa knjiga motivira, inspirira in daje mislit. Zato ker Luka ni fejk, se skozi njegove testosteronske opise s terena in poglede na svet jasno razbere, da razume vlogo vojske v sodobnem svetu - tu so za to, da zaščitijo vse, tudi šibke in drugače misleče. Ris je obenem reklama za Slovensko vojsko in njena kritika. Vsaka dobra vojna knjiga je namreč v svojem bistvu - protivojna.
Najbolj pomembno: knjiga je zabavna, z izbranim humorjem in vleče iz poglavja v poglavje. Ni zatežena in ne filozofira. Bralca tako kot Luko vodi od ene pustolovščine do druge. Je prva tovrstna knjiga, ki prikazuje vlogo Slovenije v geopolitični stvarnosti 21. stoletja. Obvezno čtivo za vse ljubitelje vojaške tematike, ki jo z veseljem postavimo na polico poleg knjig Kylea, Wrighta, Blehma in drugih.

Awesome book, writen by a soldier.
Didn't expect much going into this. I mean Slovenian Army? Who cares right? In Slovenia the Army has a very low public image. Wars here are thankfully a thing of the past. The Army is more often used to score political points than anything else. Since we don't see the soldiers, we often don't think about them.
This book opened my eyes on the subject. Luka basically tells you his life story with a major focus on his military training and deployments. Why he chose the army, what did he gain in the army, and most importantly, he doesn't shy away from what he lost because of the army.
The writing is very raw. Pretty words are few and far between. The writing style manages to completely immerse you in the action, making you feel like you are there with the author and his fellow soldiers. Actually scratch that. It makes you often happy you are NOT there, when you read about what training for becoming a soldier, but especially a Special Forces soldier entails.
This must be the go to book if you are interesting about the Army in the region. But it's not a story about the Army, it's the story about the people in the Army. It's a story about the sweat, the tears, the mental resiliency, the politics, the fun times, the bad times, and also about the tragic times. Nothing is kept from the reader. The author gives his raw emotions, and doesn't sugarcoat it.
Definitely a book that stays with you even after you put it back on the shelf

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. What a page turner! The book is remarkable – a young man describing his transformation from a troublemaker to a mentally strong, well composed man after going through literal hell in the special forces selection process. The story is both incredibly funny and educational, and offers a lot of insight into peculiar techniques the special forces instructors use to identify soldiers who won't crumble under pressure.

Interesting description of army life in Slovenia. It surely is a mix from those who work in the army and those who don't when you read a book. Funny how we have no idea what they go through for not being paid enough to save our lives and protect our beloved country. Respect to all who in any way work in the army and serve the nation. Excellent book and the way of expression mentality and physical way of a soldier. Many times we should ask, why are we complaining over life? Recommendations to read 100%.

Bravo Luka. Brez cenzure in ovinkarjenja je spravil na papir misli vojaka. Predvsem pa me je fasciniralo to kako nadzorno se vidi razplet njegovega življenja. Iz pretepača na nogometnih tekmah v pisatelja knjig. Začelo pa se je vse z vojsko. Kjer se je najprej naučil red in disciplino, kar pravzaprav osnova za vsak uspeh.

Odlicna knjiga! Street knowledge, zadnji del vreden ponovnega branja. Bravo in cestitke avtorju!

Ocenjevanje osebnih zgodb se mi zdi nehvaležno delo - lahko da opisan dogodek na nas ne pusti takega vtisa, kot ga je avtorju; lahko nam ne gre stil pisanja in če se ne znamo vživeti v avtorja...
Z Luko nimava veliko skupnega, deliva pa si podoben pogled na svet ter vrednote (na žalost ne športne discipline 🙈).
Sicer ga ne poznam, a po prebrani knjigi se zdi, kot da ga. Brez ovinkarjenj nas vodi skozi svojo zgodbo in tako lahko sledimo njegovemu napredku in osebnostni rasti. Mislila sem si, da bom vojaško terminologijo preletela, a sem jo googlala. Njegovi opisi vlečejo, skozi knjigo sem se popolnoma vživela, tako da se mi je smilil, šel na živce, me iskreno nasmejal in poskrbel za marsikateri motivacijski trenutek (izpisala sem si kar nekaj "močnih" stavkov). Laikom knjiga nudi vpogled v delovanje vojske, ponudi marsikatero področje za debato; je hkrati povabilo v vojsko in njena kritika.
Lukova moralna načela in njegov način predajanja discipline bi lahko slišal marsikateri najstnik...pa tudi mi, ki smo že zapadli v nekakšno rutinsko delovanje.
Redkokdaj napišem kakšen review, ampak za Risa sem si prisegla, da se opogumim 😄
Skratka, meni je pustila nekaj več in jo priporočam. Heads up: če vas iztirijo kletvice better luck next time 😉
