They are called on to perform at the peak of their physical and mental capabilities, primed for combat and surveillance, yet ready to pitch in with disaster relief operations.

I bought this book because I wanted to learn more about the special forces: what they are, how they practise, where they are deployd. But the text in which these facts were presented was, like they say here, very, very dry. And that was the reason that I did not get past page 100. I usually give a book 100 pages. If it doesn't get me or annoys me, I leave it.
I left it with a sense of disappointmet, because I would have liked to learn some more about this part of the armed forces.
No rating for this book.

This is a very thorough description of a misunderstood function of the U.S. military. Clancy shares the history, the typical functions, and, especially, the people who have made it happen. He includes a "mini-novel" at the end to describe their role at its best and to convey why we need it. It changed my opinion, somewhat, that our deployment to so many nations isn't as bad as I thought, but it didn't convince me we need to be the world's policeman. At least the role of Special Forces in other nations appears to both promote an appropriate image of America and to keep this thinly spread force sharp at a very low incremental cost. ( )
