Summary:
"The first and only book to ever be written by a member of
America
's
most
secret
military
unit
-- an explosive and unlikely story of immigration, service, and sacrifice. Inside our
military
is a team of operators whose work is so secretive that the name of the
unit
itself is classified. Highly-trained in warfare, self-defense, infiltration, and deep surveillance, 'the
Unit
,' as the Department of Defense has asked us to refer to it, has been responsible for preventing dozens of terrorist attacks in the Western world. Never before has a member of this
unit
shared their story -- until now. From Adam Gamal,
one
of the only Muslim Arab Americans to serve inside 'the
Unit
,' comes a gripping firsthand account of our nation'
s
most
secretive
military
group. When Adam arrived in the United States at the age of nineteen, he spoke no English, and at 5'1" and 112 pounds, he was far from what you might expect of a soldier. But compelled into service by a debt he felt he owed to his new country, he rose through the ranks of the
military
to become
one
of its
most
elite and skilled operators. With humor and humility, Adam shares stories of life-threatening injuries, of the camaraderie and capabilities of his team, of the incredible missions -- but also of the growth he experienced as he learned to adhere to more moderate Islamic beliefs. Enthralling and eye-opening, The
Unit
is at once a gripping account of the fight against terror and an urgent examination of the need for diversity."--Publisher.
