- Summary
- The world's best trained, best equipped and most feared soldiers have been fighting a war in the shadows for the last decade. The tip of the spear in the war on terror, Special Forces operators from the US, UK and other Coalition countries have led the fight against insurgents and terrorists around the world. Operating in secrecy, usually heavily outnumbered and often deployed deep inside enemy territory, these operators are the new face of modern war. Packed with their stories, photographs and details of the operation they have conducted, Special Forces in the War on Terror is a full history of their war, from the earliest Green Beret operations in Afghanistant throught to SEAL Team 6's kill-or-capture mission against Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad-and beyond.
