An inside look at seven of the most harrowing and significant
Special Operations missions ever.
Courage beyond reason. Loyalty beyond faith. Perseverance in the
face of overwhelming adversity. These are just some of the
qualities of the members of the U.S. Special Operation Forces.
BEYOND HELL AND BACK details the seven defining Special Ops
missions that have made the Special Operation Forces the best
fighting unit in the world, including:
*THE RESCUE OF BAT-21: The largest and longest Combat Search and
Rescue mission in the Vietnam War lasted 17 days and cost the lives
of 13 Americans--all to rescue one man and the invaluable knowledge
he alone possessed.
* TASK FORCE NORMANDY: Planned in secrecy and executed with
flawless efficiency, Task Force Normandy was an Army/Air Force
Special Operations joint op that fired the opening shots behind
enemy lines in Operation Desert Storm.
*OPERATION EAGLE CLAW: The devastating Special Forces operation
mounted to retrieve 52 American hostages in Iran resulted in the
deaths of
eight members of the rescue team. This failure ultimately led to
the creation of Special Operations Command.
*BASHER 52: Captain Scott O'Grady was shot down over the "no fly"
zone above Bosnia, and his daring rescue was one of the Marine
Corps' finest operations ever.
These are a few of the dramatic true tales that represent the
defining moments that helped shape the operational methods,
planning, and deployment for all future Special Ops missions.
BEYOND HELL AND BACK is the greatest collection of Spec Ops
missions ever assembled.
