2.0 out of 5 stars A book aimed at teenagers, November 4, 1999
This book is 50 pages long (including the index, table of contents, and the copyright.) It took maybe 10 or 15 minutes to read (with time in which to think about the contents.)

From the pictures and the vocabulary I would put this book in the range of a 5th or 6th grade student. It's left out a great deal of history and doesn't cover the training in any detail.

There is a great lack of material on the history and training of Combat Control Teams. Much less their current organization (as CCTs or as part of Special Tactics Teams.) I spent several years with a USAF special operation squadron (when it was under TAC) and all I ever met were PJs, Army SF and Rangers. The only time I heard of CCTs was when they went through Kesler AFB looking for people and when an article appeared in Airman magazine (some time in 1975 I think.) At that time there was just the 1st Special Operations Wing at Hurlburt and a lot fewer SpecOps people of any type.

All in all, I would have enjoyed a 200 to 300 page book covering the history (from the Army Pathfindrs) to the present in much greater detail (selection, in school training, unit level training and specialties, relations with the regular Air Force, with the other services SpecOps forces, and finally their deployments and successes.)
