Description
Fighting the War on Terror: Global Counter-Terrorist Units and Their Actions This book provides an unprecedented insight into the world of specialist counter-terrorism units across 16 countries, including the USA, Russia, Israel, and the UK. Journalist Judith Grohmann gained access to these elite police units through exclusive interviews, revealing the realities of their work in high-risk operations such as hostage rescues and counter-terrorism missions. Grohmann's interviews with the men and women involved in these units provide a unique perspective on the physical and mental training required for them to perform their duties. The book sheds light on the most dangerous missions they have undertaken, and the skills that enable them to operate outside the capabilities of regular police officers. A rare glimpse into a closed world, this book offers a fascinating look at the tactics and strategies employed by global counter-terrorism units in their fight against terrorism.
