Modern Warriors Audiobook Summary

From FOX & Friends Weekend cohost Pete Hegseth comes a collection of inspiring stories from fifteen of America’s greatest heroes–highly decorated Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, marines, Purple Heart recipients, combat pilots, a Medal of Honor recipient, and more–based on FOX Nation’s hit show of the same name.

After three Army deployments–earning two Bronze Stars and a Combat Infantryman’s Badge–Pete Hegseth knows what it takes to be a modern warrior. In Modern Warriors he presents candid, unfiltered conversations with fellow modern warriors and digs for real answers to key questions like: What inspired them to serve? What is their legacy? What does sacrifice really mean to them? How do they handle loss? And what can civilians learn from this latest generation of veterans?

From the skies over Afghanistan to the seas of the Mediterranean to the treacherous streets of Iraq, these brave men and women take you inside the firefight, sharing the harrowing realities of war. Hegseth uses their experiences to facilitate conversations about the raw truths of combat, including the difficulties of transitioning back home, while also celebrating these soldiers’ contributions to preserving our nation’s most precious gift–freedom.

These stories provide an unvarnished representation of battlefield leadership, military morale, and the strain of war. This book is the perfect keepsake and gift for anyone who wants to know what it means, and what it truly takes, to be a patriot.

This book can be picked up & put down since each story is Individual and personal. Makes you feel you are sitting down with each Warrior personally .. I kept looking at their photo as I read and re read in awe of their fearless service to Our Country and amazed they knew early in life they wanted to serve. Excellent Read, glad I own this Book!#trueheros #actofvalor #againstallodds #puresacrfice

Really loved the first hand experiences/stories of the warriors included in this compilation. So glad that many of them are continuing to serve their country through political offices. This book is bi-partisan so I would encourage everyone to read it.

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL, VERY PERSONAL...There’s nothing very modern about “Modern Warrior”, by Pete Hegseth, other than the fact that these men and women are all young. Their collective acts of service, dedication to country, family, fellow soldiers, mission, God - well, it’s down right turn of the century; the 20th century and I LOVED IT !!!Hegseth and his team at Fox News Books, chose this to be the first book for their publishing efforts and it should serve them well. For the most part, it’s devoid of politics and focuses on the contributions made by these extraordinary young people both during their time of service and what they are doing since. It’s not easy reading but it is well written and will thoroughly captivate. All the horrors these folks have experienced are related without gratuitous description or excessive foul language. With Harper Collins on board, the production value should be first rate; this type of book is their forte. I found no errors in my Kindle edition. The book is broken down into four sections: Never Give Up, Bearing Witness, Continuing to Serve, Leadership in Life. Each of these has 3 - 5 biographies under them that fall into the heading. There’s a small section of photos at the end that includes a few of Pete as well as a summary of each participants accomplishments, awards, years of service, etc. A short list of resources and Veteran organizations completes the book. Every one of these unique characters has shared their love, hope, dedication to fighting for freedom and not just for our country but for others. It’s this spirit of cooperation, mission not me, whatever it takes to succeed, that rings loud and clear from warrior to warrior throughout its pages and makes this book a rare gift for everyone. We may not all have the call or capability to serve in the military but we do have the ability to find a place in our lives to be inspired by these 15 who did and look for our own unique opportunities to be “Modern Warriors”📚

This is a compilation of mini memoirs by U.S. veteran soldiers of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The author also includes his own details regarding each individual. These soldiers vary in rank, experience, and department throughout the armed forces. All of them contributed in some significant way to the war effort. The book is divided into segments, each one about 25 minutes long. The stories are candid, very introspective, and some are deeply personal. Since most of these soldiers are long retired, they write more about what they learned from the war and following their service, words of wisdom, and a couple even addressed the chaos at home in the U.S. in 2020 such as all the civil unrest and covid. A few of the soldiers included had already written their own books following their retirement, most of which I have read.Quotes"Our culture needs to accept vulnerability a little bit better. I always say they teach you how to deal death, but not to deal with it" John Wayne Walding, U.S. Army" Opportunity is often overlooked because it's dressed in overalls and looks like work" Johnny Jones, USMC" It is just as important to be a good father as it is to be a good Warrior. Otherwise, what are you fighting for?" Johnny Jones, USMC " Not every day is a good day, but every day has some good." Chad Flemming U.S. Army " You often hear people put limits on free speech because someone else's speech is harmful to me. How is it possible then to have a civil discussion that keeps us free?" Mat Best U.S. Army

The author, and Fox news host, has compiled stories of military heroes of our current time. All have resumes that máke you truly grateful for their service. The chapters are told by these men and women and enhanced by information gathered in interviews by Hegseth ( himself a combat veteran and current Major in the National Guard) These explanations are in another typeset than the rest of the chapter.Derived from the FOX series Modern Warriors, this book should be read byevery American. I, for one, am extremely grateful for not only their service but for all of our troops who sacrifice for us daily so we can live comfortably.God bless and watch over them, and God bless the USA.

Good book about some very patriotic individuals. A quick and easy read.One of the things that struck me is the number of individuals that stated they are treated differently now than the vets that served in Viet Nam. Having served in Viet Nam, that is a good thing! We should always be thankful for the individuals that have, are , or will serve for this country.

Pete Hegseth has compiled these raw interviews with non-partisan integrity. Veterans share honest truth about struggle, life lessons and getting the job done — with or without fanfare. This book will inspire the patriot in you — it will make you incredibly grateful for the men and women who serve America with a willingness to put their lives on the line in the name of liberty and justice for all.Modern Warriors is a moving collection of stories and lessons learned by these ordinary (and at the same time, very extraordinary) individuals.This book has made it easier for me to swallow my pride, neglect my pre-conceived notions and “say”: Thank you for serving … by my actions in standing for freedom, respecting those around me - thinking more of them than of myself. And being willing to put my own life on the line for them.“No one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends. ”- JesusJohn 15:13 HCSB

While the media and pop culture would have you believe that it is traumatizing at best, and devestating most likely, to be a modern soldier, this is the other side of the coin. These are the soldiers (mostly officers) who were able to turn their experiences into ultimately positive outcomes. Granted, most of these perspectives are several years after retiring, but even those with significant loss (double amputees, loss of an eye, death of comrades) were able to find a successful way forward. They credit the discipline and drive they learned in the military, and their stories are inspiring, and their insight is motivating. It is well to honor and learn from these soldiers, without forgetting that for others the struggle to cope and carry on is real too.

Men and women who put their lives on the line in combat halfway around the world explain their motivation and desire to do what they do. Modern Warriors: Real Stories from Real Heroes is an opportunity for these tested patriots to divulge their feelings and observations about today's warfare. The strongest theme throughout their stories is the bond formed between soldiers regardless of their affiliations, color, or gender. Pete Hegseth does a wonderful job presenting the somber reality of war with the heartfelt dedication these heroes have for one another. The format allows the accounts to be in their own words. This makes each chapter fresh and alive with their life-altering experiences.

This is the type of book that you can pick up, read one of the stories, then put down for awhile and come back some time later to read about another warrior. Sometimes it's good to have books like that, one where you don't need to remember the storyline or read back several pages to remind yourself what was happening. I have read stories from a few of the people interviewed for this book, so it was interesting reading what they had to say in this book. Some of the stories are engaging, some of them were not quite so much, but all of them gave me appreciation for these men and women who put in the time, hard work and heartbreak to serve.

Exceptional and poignant re-telling of these warriors stories from all branches of the US military. "It isn't so much a clinical problem as it is a cultural problem." I am more in awe of our military men and women than before. Great interchange between the author's inclusion of the various honors received by each hero and their various accounts during years at war and how well (or not) things went for them upon return. They share the effect of their experiences, ability to use the difficulties and losses to their advantage, and how they are taking their experience stateside to speak for vets on multiple levels and to the rest of us who just don't get it.

Pete Hegseth has compiled fantastic stories told by the men and women who lived them, the true warriors today. Decorated for their bravery most have major disabilities from their actions during war in Iraq and Afganaistan, but instead of those disabilities dominate their lives they chose to overcome them to lead productive, active lives.A fantastic book, Modern Warriors by Pete Hegseth. This nonfiction book focuses on the true heroes of today, the modern military men and women who sacrifice so much to defend our freedoms.

Also reviewed in the Kindle store. I listened to the audio book specifically to hear the individual voices of these modern warriors and I'm so glad I did! They are amazing people and I'm so proud they are on our side! I thank God for all the incredible men and women who have chosen - voluntarily - to protect us and our country. Pete did a fantastic job compiling their stories and the order they were presented in rounded out the whole experience perfectly. Highly recommended, especially the audio version! 👍👍👍👍👍
