    • Dieses Buch beschreibt die bedeutendsten Einsätze von Spezialeinheiten der letzten zwei Jahrzehnte, darunter den Golfkrieg 1991, Somalia, Sierra Leone, den Balkan, Afghanistan und die Irak-Invasion 2003. Im Golfkrieg befreite eine von den USA angeführte Allianz Kuwait, wobei die Aktivitäten der Spezialeinsatzkräfte, die nach Scud-Raketensystemen suchten, besonders hervortraten. Diese Raketensysteme waren bereits gegen Israel eingesetzt worden, um das Bündnis zwischen NATO-Staaten und arabischen Ländern zu destabilisieren. Seitdem haben militärische Eliteeinheiten an Bedeutung gewonnen. Der Autor enthüllt die Geheimnisse, die oft mit Spezialeinsätzen verbunden sind, und beschreibt deren Beiträge während der Golfkriege sowie aktuelle Einsätze in Afghanistan und im Irak. Der Leser erhält Einblicke in Spezialeinsätze während des Balkankonflikts, im Kampf gegen südamerikanische Drogenkartelle, bei einer Geiselrettung in Sierra Leone und in der Terrorismusbekämpfung nach den Anschlägen vom 11. September 2001. Auch die geheimen Aktionen der besten Spezialkommandos werden fesselnd beschrieben. Mit über 100 Fotos richtet sich das Buch an Militärgeschichtsinteressierte und alle, die mehr über die Professionalität, den Mut und die Kreativität von Spezialeinheiten erfahren möchten.
