DK has the best books , I am a military Enthusiast. I absolutely loved this book. I actually kissed it.

I got this book in 2003 when it was first published and loved it. Great pictures, pages, and packed with content. Looking at it now, I noticed it has some glaring mistakes. Along with some minor incorrect labels of weapons and patches, it also includes regular Army divisions (10th Mtn, 101st AAD, 82d Abn, etc ) as “special forces” when they are not. Most egregiously, however it does not include some of the deadliest, most effective special ops forces in history; there is no mention of CCT, SOW (now SR), or PJs. These errors somewhat undermine the credibility of the author, although it’s understandable considering the vast majority of people have only ever heard of SEALs and “Green Berets”, so this book is still a big step toward educating and inspiring the layfolk.

This book was recommended to my son by a former CIA officer and Army Ranger. My son (17yo) really likes it. He has learned a great deal and refers back to it often. Worth the investment.

Oh, and it arrived quickly.

I find this book very informative about the Special Forces up to United Kingdom to the United States of America.

Grandson loved it.

It was gift for my husband he enjoyed the photos. High quality paper and great color. I would recommend this book

From buying and reading this book some time ago, I have to say that this book a a great synopsis of the world's Special Forces, how they operate, organize, etc.

I would have like to have seen some more detail, but I realized that this would be unlikely, mainly due to the nature of Special Forces.

This book is a great introduction to the world of Special Forces and is a good reading by those who want to learn about them.

What should be the first criteria for writing a book? Being knowledgeable regarding the subject matter. I bought this as a gift for my 12 year old son, and found things that made me really wonder if the author knows much about military history, units, and weapons. For example, the 1st Marine Division patch is identified as the patch for 1st Marine Raider Btn., and he identifies an M16A1 as an M16A2. Also, a Romanian AKM is identified as an AK-74. To the novice, this may sound like nitpicking, but as a former US Marine and infantryman, it drives me nuts.

No nos sorprende esta editorial con sus libros, magnifica impresión, imágenes, texto..., ideal para adultos y niños. Tengo en poder muchos ejemplares de esta editorial, y no me canso de ojearlos. Solo hay una editorial equiparable con esta editorial, la editorial "DK". Me declaro seguidor incondicional de esta editorial.Para cuando un libro de ESTADIOS, DEPORTES OLÍMPICOS,ESCUDOS DE FÚTBOL, HISTORIA DE CLUBS DE FUTBOL (ESPAÑA, EUROPA...). Se merecen 5****

An excellent Informative Book.

Everybody can read specially people interested in Defense related News.

Excellent Pages. Worth keeping a Lifetime for Reference.

produit conforme à mes attentes. Dommage qu'il y a plus d'images que de textes. Malgré tout c'est un bon livre pour mieux connaitre les FS.

For a used book it is in nice shape and just what my son was looking for
