America's Elite: US Special Forces from the American Revolution to the Present Day (General Military)
"This book is a great overview of the men and women that make up the most elite warriors of our time.  The operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, Granada and Pakistan show how our nation depends on these people to be our first and most formidable line of human defense and offense in a dangerous world. Lastly the author tells of the raid on Bin Laden’s hideout where SEAL Team 6 brings that terrorist to justice."-The San Francisco Book Review(July 22, 2013)"Here is a complete survey of how the US Army, Navy, and Air Force developed and used the concept of elite soldiers, considering key operations, training, and technology that separates them from regular soldiers.
