Special forces in action

The interest in Special Forces and the operations they have been engaged in is one of those aspects of military history which continues to fascinate readers. There have been many books on the subject from an historical point, but this title brings the story right up to date with operations in Africa, Afghanistan and several other zones.

After a brief introduction the author launches straight into the operational side of things, ranging from hunting drug lords in South America to hunting down Osama Bin Laden. The author explains what he is allowed to about weapons, tactics and other equipment used by these specialist forces and still presents an informative work. The operations carried out by countries such as Australia and Canada will come as a surprise to some readers.
