Wonderful x 10 December 25, 2005

Warriors is a fabulous book that should be read by every cop, soldier and relative of one. Christensen wrote ON COMBAT with Col. Dave Grossman and that book should also be in every warrior's library.
Somehow Christensen got some of the top warriors in the country to write an article for this book. There is something in it for military people, law enforcement, and martial artists.
Some of the articles will stick in your mind for a long time. I'm thankful that there are men and women out there who are willing to do the right thing for others at a time when there are so many self-serving whimps who complain about police officers, President Bush and our military, but don't have the guts to put it on the line.
Thank God we have warriors.
Don't hesitate, buy this book now. March 23, 2005

When Loren first asked me to contribute to this book, I felt honoured. When I read the final work, I was humbled and proud to share the same pages as the magnificent warriors in it. The stories and experiences written down in this book will give you an insight into not only what it is like to be a warrior but also what terrible price is often paid when walking this path. Hollywood and the TV screen tend to perpetuate myths that have no resemblance at all to what warriorhood encompasses in the real world. This book gives a rare and accurate view of the many different sides to the warrior's life.
You will be both inspired and profoundly touched as you read this book. Don't hesitate to buy this one.

You'll find my name and three stories within "Warriors-On Living With Courage, Discipline and Honor." (Pg 38-The Heroic Set of Shoulders, Pg. 168-Muses of A Warrior Trainer, and pg. 267-The Conditions of Combat.) I'm continually amazed at the breadth of martial, military and combat experience among the authors.
This is the most gritty, in-your-face account of warriors, their stories and their issues I've ever seen. From Tom Martin's gripping account of a disabled elderly man attracted to his Marine ring, to Melissa Soalt (aka:Dr. Ruthless) story "Fierce Love." If you want to know how and why warriors do what they do, and how they feel about it afterwards, you need look no further.
I'm having to buy ever more copies of "Warriors." My family and friends all want one, and I'm only too happy to oblige.
Thank you for all your hard work Loren. Through it, we all won.

Thirty-seven real-life warriors tell what it's like to kill, to sacrifice, to train, to fear, and do what needs to be done. Christensen has collaborated with some of the greatest martial artists of all time to create this masterful book. Contributors include Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, Massad Ayoob, Gavin de Becker, Stephen Hayes, Hoch Hochheim, and many more... It is a fantastic read giving great insight into what we fight for and why. The story about how Rick Rescola died saving 2,700 people on 9/11 is particularly moving and highly memorable. I highly recommend this book.

In a word, Warriors is fantastic. I've been a fan of Loren Christensen's books for a long time and he's done another great job by writing and compiling essays in this incredible volume that teaches us what it means to be a warrior and to live the life. Whether you're a soldier, marine, police officer, martial artist or a person who knows someone who lives one of these roles, this book speaks to you.
I highly recommend Warriors and I also recommend On Combat, the book Loren co-wrote with Dave Grossman. I bought both books autographed from Loren's site at LWCBooks dot com.
