Fast, powerful and almost invisible: military special forces have a particular aura. This book covers modern units whose roots partly go back to the Second World War or even further. Some are still active, others have already become part of history. Military historian and weapons expert Alexander Losert brings together well-known units such as Delta Force (USA), Navy SEALs (USA), KSK (DE), SAS (GB), Spetsnaz (RU) as well as lesser-known troops worldwide. He describes their history, organization and areas of operation, as well as the armament of modern special forces.
