320 Pages Indexed. This is the October 2007 First Edition. Book and jacket have been protected by a Demco Polyfit vinyl covering from the day of purchase. This is a Military Book Collector's dream. Courage beyond reason. Loyalty beyond faith. Perseverance in the face of overwhelming adversity. These are just some of the qualities of the members of the U.S. Special Operation Forces. This book details the seven defining Special Ops missions that have made the Special peration Forces the best fighting unit in the world, including: The Rescue of Bat-21. The largest and longest Combat Search and Rescue mission in the Vietnam War lasted 17 days and cost the lives of 13 Americans--all to rescue one man and the invaluable knowledge he alone possessed. Task Force Normandy: Planned in secrecy and executed with flawless efficiency, Task Force Normandy was an Army/Air Force Special Operations joint op that fired the opening shots behind enemy lines in Operation Desert Storm and.Operation Eagle Claw : The devastating Special Forces operation mounted to retrieve 52 American hostages in Iran resulted in the deaths of eight members of the rescue team. This failure ultimately led to the creation of Special Operations Command. Basher 52: Captain Scott O'Grady was shot down over the no fly zone above Bosnia, and his daring rescue was one of the Marine Corps' finest operations ever. These are a few of the dramatic true tales that represent the defining moments that helped shape the operational methods, planning, and deployment for all future Special Ops missions. This book is the greatest collection of Spec Ops missions ever assembled.…
