DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume undertakes a systematic analysis of the relationship between Special Forces and contemporary strategy, explaining the resurgence of interest in Special Forces, particularly in the West, by exploring their appeal over traditional conventional force options in the current ‘War on Terror’.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAn unconventional war requires unconventional men—the Special Forces. Green Berets • Navy SEALS • Rangers • Air Force Special Operations • PsyOps • Civil Affairs • and other special-mission units The first two Commanders books, Every Man a Tiger and Into the Storm, provided masterly blends of history, biography, you-are-there narrative, insight into the practice of leadership, and plain old-fashioned storytelling. Shadow Warriors is all of that and more, a book of uncommon timeliness, for, in the words of Lieutenant General Bill Yarborough, “there are itches that only Special Forces can scratch.” Now, Carl Stiner—the second commander of SOCOM, the U.S. Special Operations Command—and Tom Clancy trace the transformation of the Special Forces from the small core of outsiders of the 1950s, through the cauldron of Vietnam, to the rebirth of the SF in the late 1980s and 1990s, and on into the new century as the bearer of the largest, most mixed, and most complex set of missions in the U.S. military. These are the first-hand accounts of soldiers fighting outside the lines: counterterrorism, raids, hostage rescues, reconnaissance, counterinsurgency, and psychological operations—from Vietnam and Laos to Lebanon to Panama, to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq, to the new wars of today…

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith names changed for security reasons, this book reveals the true story of Australian SAS soldiers acting in secret across the globe. During the Vietnam war, the Australian Army sent a team of Special Air Services (SAS) soldiers to conduct covert missions into Cambodia. They were co-opted into the Defense Intelligence Organization (DIO) repertoire of Plausibly Deniable assets and deployed worldwide in locations where Australian forces should not be. This is a dramatized retelling of their covert operations—actual events which have never before been exposed. These operations include cross-sovereign-border infiltrations into Cambodia, as well as the elimination of Viet Cong munition dumps. Also revealed are an unauthorized fatal attack by United States Army helicopters on SAS warriors; the rescue of French tourists kidnapped by Muslim terrorists in Mindanao, Philippines; and Operation Eye of the Storm into Northern Kuwait/Eastern Iraq, which evolved into Operation Desert Storm. These covert operations included offshore intervention of East Timorese Fretilin Terrorists sabotaging Australian Oil Drilling activities in the Timor Sea; plus covert black ops elimination of Muslim Jihadist activities on homeland soil assisted by Israeli intelligence. This astounding exposé shines a light on the ways governments operate when dealing with situations they prefer not to mention.
