The cream of contemporary warriors

In 1991 the United States and coalition forces liberated Kuwait after its brief occupation by Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. An abiding memory of that conflict was the activities of the coalition’s special forces soldiers deep in Iraq, hunting down SCUD missiles and their launchers before they could be fired on Israel.

Since that date, elite military formations have played an increasingly important role in policing the modern world. Special Forces in Action examines the operations of the world’s special forces over the last 15 years. From the Gulf War to the invasion of Iraq, via the war in Afghanistan, the search for war criminals in the Balkans, the drug baron hunting in South America, hostage rescues in Africa and the counter-terrorist initiatives since 9/11, it provides full details of the often clandestine activities of these elite soldiers.

With rare colour photographs and a comprehensive chronology, this informative book shows how the world’s special forces have become a vital part of any government’s military machine.
