Great Intro To 3 Of Americas Special Forces
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This was my first real book on US Special Forces. Although I have had it now for several years, I still enjoy reviewing it every so often. It is written in a very down-to-earth, personal style, while at the same time is information-packed and very educational. Fun to read, never boring. A great book for a look at the US Army Rangers, Delta Force, and Navy SEALs.
U.S. Special Forces : Airborne Rangers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book, is one of the greatest Special Ops books out there. I have seen this book at book stores a lot of times, but I did not buy it, because the one thing is missing in the book is the U.S. Army Special Forces(aka Green Berets). That is also the reason I did put it as part of my listmania: Greatest Special Ops Books(Nonfiction). The only thing I didn't care that was not in the book is the Marine Force Recon, I don't really like the Marines at all. I think they are copycats, they got their idea on Force Recon from the Army Rangers and Marine snipers from the U.S. Army Special Forces. I still think this is a great book, for any one who is a fan of Special Ops or don't know what is Special Ops. Let just hope one day the publisher and the authors, will update the book and put in stuff about the Army Special Forces(aka Green Berets), may be then I'll get the book. I think that is the only thing that is missing from the book.
Good look at DELTA, the SEALs, & the Rangers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
The full title of this book is US SPECIAL FORCES: AIRBORNE RANGERS, DELTA & U.S. NAVY SEALS. It is a compilation of three books previously published by Motorbooks. Each book is heavily illustrated. The Rangers book is by Alan & Frieda Landau, the DELTA book is by D.M. Giangreco & Terry Griswold, the SEALs book is by Hans Halberstadt.Of the three books, I am particularly impressed by the work of Giangreco and Griswold. Unlike the Rangers and SEALs, DELTA has been kept shrouded in such secrecy, that most written accounts about it are loaded with inaccuracy. These authors have written a very informed text and added some great photos.They provide a discussion of DELTA's history, a look at its weapons and equipment, what goes into making a DELTA trooper, rotary and fixed-wing assets used by DELTA, and conclude with two chapters on DELTA's work in Desert Shield/Storm, especially hunting Iraqi Scuds.If you want an informed picture of US special operations capabilities, check out this book.
