520 1 $a"Shadow Warriors is the third in an extraordinary series of nonfiction books - a look deep into modern unconventional warfare, as seen through the eyes of one of America's outstanding commanders.".
520 8 $a"The training, resourcefulness, and creativity of the SF soldier make him capable of jobs that few other soldiers could handle, in situations where traditional arms and movement don't apply. Carl Stiner was only the second commander of SOCOM, the U.S.
520 8 $aSpecial Operations Command, responsible for the readiness of all the special-operations forces of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, including the Green Berets, Navy SEALs, Rangers, Air Force Special Operations, PsyOps, Civil Affairs, and other special-mission units.".
520 8 $a"Together, Stiner and Clancy trace the transformation of the Special Forces from the small core of outsiders of the 1950s, through the cauldron of Vietnam, to the rebirth of the SF in the late 1980s and 1990s, and on into the new century as the bearer of the largest, most mixed, and most complex set of missions in the U.S. military.
520 8 $aFrom Vietnam and Laos to Lebanon to Panama, to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq, to the new wars of today, these are stories of counterterrorism, raids, hostage rescues, reconnaissance, counterinsurgency, and psychological operations - and also of building settlements, teaching civilians, cleaning up water supplies, and saving lives." "The book is a front-row seat to a man, an institution, and a way of both war and peace - an instant classic of military history."--BOOK JACKET.
