Trained to operate in diverse climates and terrains, special forces represent the pinnacle of modern warfare. Their battlegrounds are well-known: Vietnam, Mogadishu, Kabul, and more. Whether conducting surgical strikes or counter-terrorist operations, these elite operatives can accomplish what larger armies cannot, even in the face of challenges and inconsistent support. The existence of these covert units often remains hidden from public view, raising questions about their recruitment, training, effectiveness, and oversight. In this compelling analysis, James Adams explores the secretive realms of the SAS, Delta Force, and Spetsnaz, alongside other elite units like West Germany’s GSG 9, France’s GIGN, Egypt’s Force 777, and Israel’s Unit 269. The work provides a sobering yet gripping examination of the military and political roles of special forces in a rapidly changing world. Adams’ research blends military technology, lucid explanations, and engaging anecdotes, earning praise for its depth and insight. Recognized as a leading expert on intelligence and covert warfare, Adams has authored 15 bestselling books on these topics. His extensive background includes roles as Defense Correspondent and Managing Editor at The London Sunday Times, CEO of United Press International, and significant positions within the National Security Agency, where he contributed to strategic planning and technology oversight.
