The position of the special operations forces soldiers on the so-called global war on terrorism: a survey report/ Marcin Lason
Publication details: 2023Subject(s): Online resources: In: Defense & Security Analysis, Volume 39, Issue 1 2023, pg. 47-72Summary: Operations involving special operations forces are veiled in mystery, and public opinion is usually not well informed. The period of the last twenty years, beginning with the terrorist attacks of 09/11, has been no exception. But occasionally, official reports and the results of investigative journalism are published, very often criticising the actions of special operations forces soldiers. Given the secretive nature of special operations forces, researching these groups is challenging. The paper provides Special operations forces soldiers' views on the so-called global war on terrorism based on their views, observations, and experiences. There are individual opinions present in published testimonies of special operations forces members around the world. However, the research that includes a vast sample of seasoned, Polish special operations forces soldiers is an initial and original attempt to fill the gaps in the academic knowledge of the subject.Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
