From School Library Journal
Adult/High School-Bohrer offers a timely look at these elite troops. The first five chapters provide an in-depth look at each of the military services' special operations, including a short history of the unit, qualifications to begin the rigorous training program, the actual training program, how the units are organized, the equipment and weapons used, and potential missions. The final chapter offers a short essay on their future. Although each service is examined in detail, almost half the book is dedicated to the Army's Green Berets and Rangers, who make up the majority of the special-operations forces. The book is lavishly illustrated with color photographs that enhance the well-written, easy-to-understand text. This book will have appeal to teens because of the on-going war against terrorism. It should be noted, however, that it was written prior to the war in Afghanistan. Hence, there is no information on current operations.
