Have been loving all the content, including this book.This was a short book and I was able to finish within a week of receiving it, reading about every night. I could not put this book down or stop thinking about getting into the next chapter. Buck's story was one of the most relatable stories for me I have ever read, since I come from somewhat of a broken-family background too.This book made me realize how much our traumas can shape us into who we become as a person (good & bad) and who we strive to become in life . Sure, I've heard of so many hard and tough stories of peoples childhoods, but never one so relatable to my background and my feelings of growing up in that background specifically. It connected to me on a much more personal level. Not going to lie, it made me emotional and teary eyed at times because it was almost like revisiting my past and looking at my younger self in the mirror and seeing where the pain started. I didn't become who I was overnight or choose my future overnight. There's so many more layers deeper that I, or others, couldn't quite put a finger on..Anyways, this is a must read for any fan of Buck's content. It's also great for anyone wondering why a friend/spouse/co-worker/etc would ever want to go SF. Even good for those who come from a broken-family or tough upbringing.11/10 Recommended ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Is this book even worth the read?…. *by F***O on Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2024* I’m beyond grateful, and appreciative of what Sean has published… I a decent amount when I can, and this book felt like a movie to me, and not boring at all. Really puts life into perspective. I feel like I understand myself even more and have even more ways to become the best I can be! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A Story of a Man Beneath the Green Beret *by S***. on Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2023* I admittedly picked up Sean Rogers's book Rising Above: A Green Beret's Story of Childhood Trauma and Ultimate Healing because Rogers is a former member of the US Army Special Forces. SF is a topic about which I'm passionate and I'm always hungry to learn more about the world of the Green Beret.The thing is, less than half of this book is about Rogers's time on an ODA. That much should be obvious to anyone who reads the subtitle. That may put off some readers who only seek to learn about Special Forces soldiers at war.I'm a writer. I've long believed that a good writer is a student of the human condition. Some authors get by on plot-driven stories. I'm an adherent to the notion that there are no original plots nowadays, only original arrangement and employment of tropes. In my opinion, what makes good writing, especially in my chosen genre of the military action/adventure thriller, is characters that stand out. That's not to say the characters have to be purely original, either--much like plots, there are no original archetypes, only original presentation of archetypes--but they have to be interesting and seem like real people.Sean Rogers's story is fascinating. He endures a life of abuse and neglect, his mother a victim of the opioid epidemic and he and his brother being second-hand victims through her behavior changes. After getting to know his father, he decides he's going to leave the California desert behind. Whenever Rogers evades one tribulation, another rears its ugly head. Through these tribulations--which include earning his Green Beret and seeing combat on an ODA--he learns the way to conquer life is to confront your past, learn from it, accept it, and be stronger for exploring and accepting it.I would implore the folks who picked up the book because the author is a SOF veteran to give it an honest chance. This may be the writer in me talking, but I think it's important to learn about the people who wear the Green Beret and see the circumstances that shaped them into the kind of people who can pass Selection and the Q. I definitely recommend it to people who are fascinated with human stories, as this is a decidedly human story and an incredible one at that. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/277647546-rising-above-a-green-berets-story-of-childhood-trauma-ultimate](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/277647546-rising-above-a-green-berets-story-of-childhood-trauma-ultimate) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
