Description

With a capacity for fast, covert response, elite forces (EF) represent the future of conflict for governments everywhere. This book presents stories of individual heroism & examines how deserved the reputation of each EF unit is: US’s Delta Force, Israel’s IDF & Britain’s SAS. Looks at what happens when things go wrong. This is the first book to examine all aspects of the overlap between EF & the worlds of intelligence & counter-terrorism. Takes an objective look at the secret, controversial role of EF & ‘freelancers’ in covert, deadly operations around the world, & also examines their relevance to the global fallout from 9/11. Over 500 entries cut through the myth & the secrecy surrounding modern-day EF. B&W photos.
