Very Good

I would say that this book is very good. I would like to point out to some of the other reviewers that Delta Force is not a separate Special Force but rather a detachment of the First Special Forces Group. Hence the name First Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta. This is probably why the unit did not get it's own chapter in the book.

Fair

I disagree with a previous post claiming this book is a classic. It is not, but that doesn't make it a bad book either. To the contrary, I found this book provided good info on the various special operations forces it covered. I too was disappointed though to find Delta was not covered in this book. And the fact that the Pentagon still doesn't acknowledge them is a joke, everyone knows they exist, and there's plenty of pictures available of them and their gear so thats no excuse to exclude them. The author's portayal of those branches covered however was very good, making this book a mixed bag rating-wise.

Great Book About America's Special Forces

I've read this book recently and I think that it's a great book detailing the history, training, missions and weapons of America's special forces.

This is a great book for anyone who wants to know about the special forces and what they're all about.

good, except one thing

I agree that is an informative book, and I also agree that it has the best photographs of any book on this subject. However, the photos are where I was a bit disappointed. I received the book in the mail and as soon as I saw the cover my heart sank. Having been in the military, the first thing that I noticed was the blank adapters on the weapons of the troops. Now, maybe I was deluding myself, but I was not prepaired for that. After going through the book, it seemed that all of the photos were of various stages of training in the special ops schools. Eventually, this bothered me less because, thinking realistically, how would they get photos of actuall missions and if they did, we would definitely never see them.

Overall, I recommend this book. The content is decent and the picutres are brilliant, I just had to prepare readers as picky as I am.

Lucky13 is a fool

To Lucky13, the info is straight from a textbook? What textbook on special forces do you know of? This book IS the textbook. As for your claim of several missing units, the only one missing is delta.
Delta is a very secretive unit, no photos of their operators are allowed, and the unit itself is not publicly acknowleged by the DOD. If you want a book about delta, check out "Weapons of Delta Force" by Fred Pushies. It's got about all the info that there is about the unit. It also has photos of the equipment and gear that delta uses(being used in the photos by SF, Rangers, and SEALs).
"America's Special Forces" is by far the best book available on the subject of US Special Operations units. A true classic.
