Collins has done a great service by providing a well-sourced, clear, and insightful look into the missions and activities of U.S. special operators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly recommend.\"–Mike Thornton, USN Seal (ret.), Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, and coauthor, By Honor Bound   \"Fascinating and deeply researched, covering the defining moments in modern special operations; Grey Wars is a must-read for anyone interested in the post 9\/11 world.\"–Admiral William H. McRaven, USN (ret.), Ninth Commander of the U.S. Special Operations Command   This original and accessible book is a comprehensive, authoritative analysis of U.S. Special Operations. U.S. Special Operations Command trains and equips units to undertake select military activities, frequently high-risk missions, often for the purposes of counterterrorism and counterinsurgency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 9\/11, impelled by an attack on U.S. soil, these forces have been a central instrument of America's military campaign–operating in about one hundred countries on any given day. This fight–neither hot war nor cold peace–was launched and executed as a new type of global war in 2001 and has since splintered into a spectrum of regional conflicts. The result is our nation's grey wars: hazy and lethal. This contemporary history, incorporating extensive interviews and archival research by security studies expert N. W. Collins, delves deeply into the transformation of these forces since 9\/11.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Readers Warehouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44115295567987,"sku":"9780300280067","price":340.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/files\/51Utm6CCMDL._SY466.jpg?v=1767348507","url":"https:\/\/readerswarehouse.us\/products\/9780300280067","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
