U.S. Army Special Warfare: Its Origins: Revised Edition
"Paddock's updating of his formidable history on U.S. Army Special Warfare comes as a timely blessing for those who will direct these unique forces in the troubling times Americans now face. More than simply an impressive history, it is also an invaluable guide to understanding the mistakes of the past as well as the promise of the future." COLONEL MIKE HAAS, AUTHOR OF IN THE DEVIL'S SHADOW: UN SPECIAL OPERATIONS DURING THE KOREAN WAR "Paddock's classic work performs a great service in joining together tales of the inception of U.S. Special Forces with psychological warfare, civic action, and intelligence, and in highlighting the role of little known pioneer Robert McClure." JOHN PRADOS, AUTHOR OF THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF THE VIETNAM WAR "A pathbreaking study." DAVID W. HOGAN, JR., AUTHOR OF U.S. ARMY SPECIAL OPERATIONS IN WORLD WAR II
