About this title

Synopsis

Whether about British Commandos, the German Elite Forces, the Amer. Special Forces, the Egyptian Airborne, or Soviet marines, tales of daring exploits by crack troops operating behind enemy lines are always fascinating. Examines the record of major elite forces during WW2, and also explores the qualities -- skill, courage, determination, stamina -- required of soldiers handpicked to serve in those units. Describes the deeds of valor performed by these troops. Includes: Israeli special units such as the Golani, GHQ Recce Squadron (Sayeret Matkal), and Naval Commandos; Arab assault units in the Golan Heights, in Lebanon, and in the Sinai; and soldiers in the Falkland and Grenada campaigns.
