4.0 out of 5 stars
Very Good book but for the most part a repeat,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: U.S. Special Operations Forces in the Cold War (G.I. Series) (Paperback)
While this is a good book with many interesting photos and descriptions, the buyer should be aware that many if not most of the photos and descriptions have appeared in the authors other fine works published in the 80's. As many of these are no longer availible this is a good collection for the newby interested in the history of 1960-1980 special operations.
