Special Forces in Action: Iraq * Syria * Afghanistan * Africa * Balkans

English

By (author): Alexander Stilwell

In 1991, Coalition special forces were active deep inside Iraq, hunting down SCUD missile launchers before they could be fired. In 2011, US Navy SEALs were responsible for the assassination of the worlds most wanted terrorist, Osama bin Laden. In 2014, the US Delta Force captured Libyan terrorist Ahmed Abu Khattala, wanted for the attack on the US embassy in Benghazi in 2012. Over the last 25 years elite military formations have played an increasingly important role in the policing of the worlds trouble spots, including rescuing hostages in Afghanistan and fighting Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean.
Special Forces in Action is a detailed account of the operations of the worlds special forces from 1991 to the present day. From the Gulf War to the invasion of Iraq, via the war in Afghanistan, the search for war criminals in the Balkans, drug gang hunting in South America, hostage rescues in Africa, and the counter-terrorist initiatives since 9/11, the book brings the reader full details of the often clandestine and varied roles of the worlds elite soldiers.
Authoritatively written and illustrated with more than 180 photographs and artworks, Special Forces in Action is an expert account of how the worlds special forces have become a vital arm of the modern military machine.
