Fast, strong and almost invisible: military special forces have a special nimbus. This book deals with modern units whose roots partly go back to the Second World War or even further.
Some are still actively in use, others are already joining history.
Alexander Losert, military historian and weapons expert, brings together well-known units such as Delta Force (USA), Navy Seals (USA), KSK (DE), SAS (GB), SpezNas (RU) as well as lesser-known troops worldwide. It describes their history, organization and areas of operation as well as the armament of modern special forces.
