Publisher's Synopsis
Since September 11, 2001, U.S. counterterrorist programs have emerged from the shrouds of secrecy and into the public eye. In fact, the United States have had special operations forces since the Revolutionary War, and the fight against terrorism has been going on for more than thirty years. In this detailed look at U.S. counterterrorism, Katz examines the history behind some of the nation's most highly trained special operations forces. Katz covers the training, selection and operation of these groups.
