The Commandos Book

From Hell Week to hell on earth, they go where no one else dares, kill with precision, and pull of daring attack, rescue, and reconnaissance missions. What kind of man becomes a secret warrior - a Navy SEAL, Delta Force ranger, Army Green Beret, or Air Force special op pilot?

For the first time, veteran Newsweek reporter Douglas Waller takes you inside this secret, elite world, from the SEALs' legendary Hell Week - where trainees get four hours of sleep in five days of body-and-mind-breaking drills - to an electronics-jammed Pave Low, the most sophisticated helicopter in the world. Then he follows the Commandos into the action - in never-before-revealed Desert Storm battle scenes, where U.S. Special Forces wages Scut-bustling night missions, behind-the-lines firelights, and some of the most unconventional and dangerous missions in the history of war.

For the first time, a veteran Newsweek reporter goes behind the scenes to chronicle the training and missions of the nation's elite fighting forces--the Navy SEALs, Delta Forces, Green Berets, and Air Force special operations pilots. Waller takes readers behind the official veil of secrecy--like no other previous military account. (Military History)
