After eight challenging years in Afghanistan, the new U.S.
strategy, aimed at winning hearts and minds rather than
search-and-destroy, refocuses the conflict on Special Forces:
unorthodox soldiers who work outside of traditional military forces
to combine secret military operations with nation building.
Tony Geraghty, an expert author in this field for almost thirty
years, unveils the extraordinary evolution of this refined style of
war-making from its roots in anti-guerrilla warfare in Ireland and
Palestine, by way of the creation of the C.I.A., the S.A.S., the
Green Berets, America s Office of Strategic Services (O.S.S.), and
many others, including Mossad.
This history is more than a tale of derring-do, although James
Bond-like characters stalk every page. It is a sweeping examination
of Black Ops at a time when they represent the future of an
open-ended global war against terrorism."
