2.0 out of 5 stars Nice pictures, but Katz has done better, July 6, 1999

By A Customer

As a reader of Katz's other books, I was sorely disappointed by him (or his editors) - whoever is responsible for the editing the content. I found some of captions to some of pictures to be totally inaccurate (i.e., men exiting a Huey clearly marked with West German marking as elite American soldiers). These errors lead me to believe that some of the writing and facts could also be flawed or inaccurate. I ended up returning the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wow..and not so..., November 22, 1999

By A Customer

I was attracted by the flashy cover and promptly bought it. Being a seasoned enthusiast, i was slightly disappointed at the wrong descriptions here and there. Also, the section for Singapore did not have much information! Do you need some help with that?

5.0 out of 5 stars Groundbreaking material, June 7, 1999

By A Customer

This book is a comprehrensive examination of the world's top couinter-terrorist units, that includes never before seen photographs of many of the world's most elite and top-secret forces. Although security restrictions are evident throughout the book, it is clear that this book will assume an important spot on the library shelves of police and military units around the world.
