Description
Task Force Black: The Explosive True Story of the SAS and the Secret War in Iraq In the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq, the Coalition faced an insurgency that seemed almost impossible to understand, let alone reverse. To counter this threat, a secret war was waged within a war, combining special forces, aircraft, and advanced surveillance technology. The aim was to take down the enemy faster than it could regenerate. Guided by intelligence, a small British special forces team took a bold approach, meeting the car bombers' fire with fire. Their efforts accounted for thousands of insurgents, and the campaign began to bear fruit. This is the story of that campaign, and the men who fought it. A gripping and intense account of a pivotal moment in modern military history, Task Force Black sheds light on a conflict that was hidden from the public eye.
