- xx, 290 p.
Covers history, organisation, selection and training, roles and missions, and likely future of America's special forces. Considers the political dimension of using special forces, the effect of changing attitudes and conflict environments, and the possibility that political leaders (and perhaps some military leaders too) are becoming confused about the SOF concept and basic tenets.
