Newsweek - ‘Never-before-revealed’ story

I’m currently 1/3 through my new book titled ‘The Commandos: The Inside Story of America’s Secret Soldiers’. This book is written by a veteran Newsweek reporter Douglas C. Waller, who interviewed more than 200 commandos from the US Army, Navy & Air Force. Reading this book just makes all the sense to me why the Special Forces are truly considered “The Few. The Brave. The Elite…”

This book begins with a short prologue, followed by the chapters on ‘The Making of a Commando’ – from Robin Sage (Green Beret), Hell Week (Navy SEAL), Cowboys (Air Force Special Operations) to Delta Force training. Reading these accounts just blows my mind…

Following that, are true accounts of the Gulf War between the US & Iraq, also known as Operation ‘Desert Storm’. And the best part of this book, is that this reporter concludes with the final portion on ‘Tomorrow’s Warriors’ & ‘Tomorrow’s Wars’, explaining how war would possibly be like in the future. It’s so exciting! I’m just looking forward to this part!
