In 1991, Coalition special forces were active deep inside Iraq,
hunting down SCUD missile launchers before they could be fired. In
2011, US Navy SEALs were responsible for the assassination of the
world's most wanted terrorist, Osama bin Laden. In 2014, the US
Delta Force captured Libyan terrorist Ahmed Abu Khattala, wanted
for the attack on the US embassy in Benghazi in 2012. Over the last
25 years elite military formations have played an increasingly
important role in the policing of the world's trouble spots,
including rescuing hostages in Afghanistan and fighting Somali
pirates in the Indian Ocean. Special Forces in Action is a detailed
account of the operations of the world's special forces from 1991
to the present day. From the Gulf War to the invasion of Iraq, via
the war in Afghanistan, the search for war criminals in the
Balkans, drug gang hunting in South America, hostage rescues in
Africa, and the counter-terrorist initiatives since 9/11, the book
brings the reader full details of the often clandestine and varied
roles of the world's elite soldiers. Authoritatively written and
illustrated with more than 180 photographs and artworks, Special
Forces in Action is an expert account of how the world's special
forces have become a vital arm of the modern military machine,
playing a key role in recent world events.
