Synopsis
Discover what it takes to fight alongside the very best of America's armed forces in this heart-pounding precursor to American Sniper and SEAL Team Six. Get a behind-the-scenes look at the most secret and elite of clandestine warriors, including the Green Berets, Navy SEALs, and Delta Force. Offering inside details of the US special operations forces, former Newsweek and Time correspondent Douglas Waller reveals the excruciating training and dangerous missions behind America's elite fighting forces. Following them closely into battle in Operation Desert Storm, Waller shares never-before-revealed scenes and details from the US Special Forces-waged Scud-busting night raids, firefights, and some of the most unconventional and dangerous war missions in history. In this vivid account, Waller's singular experience not only shines a light on the obstacles these soldiers face but gives an intimate portrait of the individual men and women serving our country. His inside reporting highlights the humanity of these soldiers by sharing their struggles, perseverance, and triumphs.
