Immediate Action 52 reviews Andy Mcnab
Dell, 1996
Immediate Action
+ Inside look at the life of a special operations soldier
Immediate Action
A close friend of mine recently told me he was SAS. That revalation made me want to find out more of what he was not telling me. When I finished I was speechless - McNab gave a clear picture of what, who and how this group works.

The Joker: Twenty Years Inside the Sas 1 review Pete Scholey
Andre Deutsch Ltd, 2002
Read the book and met the man
This was my first experience of meeting an author as well as a real ex-SAS operative. Both in the book and in real life Pete immediately blows a number of pre-conceived notions about British 'Special Forces' operatives out of the water. I should say he had been asked as Guest Speaker to an entirely ...

The Interrogators: Task Force 500 and America's Secret War Against Al Qaeda 34 reviews Chris Mackey, Greg Miller
Back Bay Books, 2005
The Interrogators, a worth book to read and learn from the experiences of another Army.
+ Good insight into interrogation planning and the limits placed on interrogation + The war up close
I think we should have read this book in the seventies in order to avoid the mistakes in our "dirty war". As we know, some Latin America's countries based the doctrine of counterinsurgency in French Doctrine used in Indochina and Argelia. This doctrine is described in some books, such us Modern ...

Gideon's Spies: The Secret History of the Mossad 70 reviews Gordon Thomas
St. Martin's Griffin, 2000
Read the book and annoy your friends daily with the astonishing stories.
+ informing + Interesting, but could be better.
It is very difficult not to call this book astonishing, but, as with any book on intelligence services, it earns itself a caveat. The problem with reading anything but an academic book on intelligence is that there is no way to verify any of the stories and separate fact from fiction, or more ...

Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and Bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September ... 136 reviews Steve Coll
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2004
Coll collects the pieces of the puzzle that helped create the picture of terrorism from 9/11
+ Highly informative and engaging + Excellent Book - A Real Page-Turner
The subtitle of this book says it all. If you take nothing else away from this review recognize that. Anything I have to say after that is pretty meaningless by comparison.
The Third World War goes on today. It's not a war in the traditional sense like WWI or II. During World War I and World War ...

an eye opener
+ EXCELLENT BOOK + Insightful
This book is amazing because it contains his day to day activities. I, too, want to become a Ranger and I've done lots of research about them, but I must admit that I didn't always know what he was talking about, I did understand the hardship and I could picture myself going through what he did, it ...
