Inhaltsangabe

RUSI - October 1998 - Reviewed By Robin Neillands Whether the big SOF
battalions of the United States are right for such delicate tasks is just
one of the questions put forward in this interesting book, which deserves a
wide readership among the political and intelligence communities, as well
as in the military world. Amazon Bookshop A revealing, entertaining,
hard-headed look at Special Operations This is probably the best book of
its type available to the general public. Parameters - Winter 1998 - see
file Adams sets out to examine the more important issues of whether todays
Army Special Operations Forces are really special or whether they perform
unusual or unconventional missions at a much higher level of proficency
than others in the Army, Military Review- This thought-provoking book
should be required reading for anyone associated with SOF- Small Wars and
Insurgencies, Vol. 10, No. 1, Spring 99 ...an important book, an
interesting book, a good read and an exasperating book... Deserves a place
of honour on the bookshelf of all who would know what special operations
are about. More important, it deserves to be read. Low Intensity Conflict
and Law Enforcement, Vol 7, No 2, Autumn 98 This is a book that does
several things well ... The authors operational experience, scholarly
approach, and intellectual honesty combine to provide an excellent
beginning point from which to reinitiate the process of rethinking the
problem of military force size, structure, and purpose(s).
