Special Operations-"Spec Ops" is what JSOC is. Joint Services Operations Command. In today's all volunteer military JSOC is the best of our forces. 50 year old US Army helicopter pilots, the Navy's SEALs (Sea, Air, Land), UDT (Underwater Demolition.) But these aren't actors in movies...these people (and their service dogs) infiltrate, exfiltrate, and perform covert operations. The ten year hunt for Osama Bin Laden was started by our intelligence agencies and culminated with Spec Ops at Abbotabad, Pakistan.
This book was written WAY before the assassination of Bin Laden. Today's director of Spec Ops, Vice Admiral William McRaven was a Navy SEAL who helped with the formation of this team. It's literally a textbook explaining how Spec Ops works. It takes 6 epic military exfiltrations and explains how they all worked with philosophy of Spec Ops. The Raid at Entebbe...the release of Mussolini from his high altitude ski resort prison---all operations we have seen in films or read about in history books. McRaven takes them apart and showed why they worked...and where they didn't work.
Brilliant text showing military maneuvers at its best. Whether it's Bin Laden's assassination to freeing a US Captain from Somali Pirates we still see McRaven's tactics at work. The planning for every conceivable problem, the execution...and what is NOT seen in a Hollywood movie...the unforeseen mistakes, and human error. Today's Israeli President Bebé Netanyahu's brother, colonel Netanyahu is the driving force behind the Raid at Entebbe Airport. He died in that raid. This is the real world...not fantasy.
Spec Ops is an absolute read for anyone interested in military history...or for anyone who wants to know the inside story behind today's headlines.
Well written. Radm Mcraven deserves his reputation. His selection of cases shows a complete understanding of his subject and the prose of his narrative carries the reader while building suspense and tension like a modern fiction writer. His conclusion leaves no room for alternate acceptance and serves as a call to action.
The author is obviously a communicator and motivator of the highest order..
A very well written book on the subject of special operations by an author who is an acknowledged expert. Highly recommended for military history and strategy buffs. Although as the author points out, there is no immunity from the fog and "frictions" of war", by reviewing selected operations he illustrates some of the other factors that influence the outcomes of such operations. This is an important book given the increasing role of special operations in a world where such operations often involve non-state actors.
