Overview
For fans of Ben Macintyre and Anthony Beaver comes a sweeping history of specialized military units and how they have shaped historic and modern warfare.
Across the globe, elite military units operate in the shadows, trained to execute missions that conventional forces cannot. From daring covert operations to navigating the most hostile terrain on Earth, these specialist teams are forged for the extraordinary.
In this gripping exploration, Dr Stephen Bull delves into the world of elite forces such as the UK's SAS, the US Navy SEALs, and Russia's Special Forces Group. He uncovers the intense selection and training regimes, the strategic thinking behind their creation, and the real-world impact of their operations in combat zones. With sharp analysis and vivid detail, Bull reveals how these units have shaped modern warfare and how they continue to redefine the limits of military capability.

• British Elite Forces: The genesis of modern British special forces, from independent companies and "snowmen" to the establishment of the SAS and Royal Marine Commandos.
• US Elite Forces: The history of American elite units, including the Rangers, the First Special Service Force, Airborne Divisions, Delta Force, and the Navy SEALs
• Russian Elite and Special Forces: The evolution of Russian elite units, from the Streltsy and Imperial Guard to modern Spetsnaz formations, exploring their role in various conflicts including Afghanistan and Ukraine
Illustrated with black and white photographs throughout, this authoritative volume is a must-read for anyone interested in the enduring legacy of elite combat units.
