Description
Spec Ops: A Study of Successful Special Operations Warfare
This book, written by Vice Adm. William H. McRaven, is a well-organized and deeply researched study of eight classic special operations. The author, who commanded a U.S. Navy SEAL team, analyzes these operations to identify six essential principles of "spec ops" success: simplicity, security, repetition, surprise, speed and purpose.
McRaven examines six historical examples, including the German commando raid on Eben Emael, the U.S. Ranger rescue mission at Cabanatuan, and the Israeli rescue of hostages in Entebbe. He also provides analysis of the Son Tay raid, which he considers a successful example of a modern special operations mission.
