This is an account of the transformation of the United States Special Forces from a small core of outsiders in the 1950s, through the fires of the Vietnam War, to the rebirth of the Special Forces in the late 1980s and 1990s. There is a chapter devoted to Office of Strategic Services operations in occupied France during WW2.[2] Much of the book focuses on bureaucratic battles during the formation of the United States Special Operations Command after the failure of Operation Eagle Claw.[2]
It gives firsthand accounts of elite members of the Army Special Forces, Navy SEALs, U.S. Army Rangers, Air Force Special Operations, PsyOps, Civil Affairs, and other special-mission units performing missions such as counterterrorism, raids, hostage rescues, reconnaissance, counterinsurgency, and psychological operations.
