Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Well researched book, excellent structure and flow throughout. It includes sections on recent conflicts, such as the Balkans, Afghanistan, Iraq etc. I enjoyed, the straight from the horse's mouth accounts of operations,along with some great photos, some I've seen published before but lots of unpublished ones.
Some chapters covered details of the selection process for both Delta and the SAS. Some great mission planning information and a good section on Worldwide Special Forces, along with the equipment they use. The book finishes off with good chapter on future operations & equipment.
Overall an excellent book, although the main focus is on US, UK and Australian Special Forces.

Never before have the techniques and operations of special forces around the world been revealed in such fascinating detail.Journalist and soldier Mike Ryan's access to restricted information isat the heart of this extraordinary look into the world of specialforces and their tactics, training, and protocols. Ryan's web ofmilitary contacts in the U.S. and Europe allows him to tell the fullstories of famous special forces units (like the SAS, Delta Force, andthe French Foreign Legion), to discuss their role today on anever-changing battlefield, and to ponder their increasing use aspolitical enforcers. Soldiers from all over the world talk candidlyabout the hunt for Osama bin Laden, the overthrow of Saddam Hussein,and operations in the Balkans, Somalia, and Sierra Leone. Every entryon a unit, tactic, or weapon is backed up with photographs of it inaction, as well as testimony from operators in the field and a fullanalysis of its combat effectiveness. 240 full-color photographs and illustrations
