Just the facts, Ma'am...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
While much of what the modern AFSOC is engaged in globally is classified, there still should have been a lot more regarding the present day Ops (which IS readily available)...sadly, there wasn't. The upside to the book was the fascinating account of the beginnings of the Air Force special ops, from the early pathfinders and OSS. Again, this could have been better had more photos from that era been included, along with declassified maps, tactical data, and so on. There were a few glaring inconsistencies, but much of this could be attributable to typos, and not necessarily the author per se. Overall, this is a decent book about a group of people coming together to form one of America's most potent forces for freedom and democracy. If this were to be a great book, it would have to have more photos, corrections to the errors, and less "dramatic license" in retelling the stories. When it comes to military actions, the MORE facts...the better!
