The Green Berets--a legendary corps of soldiers whose exploits made
military history. But now, its very identity and role as a fighting
force may be forever changed . . .
Until the war in Iraq, Special Forces were the military's
counterinsurgency experts. Their specialty was going behind enemy
lines and training insurgent forces. In Afghanistan, they toppled
the Taliban by transforming Northern Alliance fighters into
cohesive units. But since that time, Special Forces units have
focused on offensive raids.
With time running short, the Green Berets have now gone back to
their roots.
Award-winning journalist Kevin Maurer traveled with a Special
Forces team in Afghanistan, finding out firsthand the inside story
of the lives of this elite group of highly trained soldiers. He
witnessed the intense brotherhood, the rigorous selection process,
and the arduous training that makes them the best on the
battlefield. Here, Maurer delivers a compelling account of modern
warfare and of a fighting force that is doing everything in its
power to achieve victory.
