In The Greatest Special Ops Stories Ever Told, editor Tom McCarthy has
pulled together some of the finest writings about Special Operations
that capture readers imaginations, meticulously culled from books,
magazines, movies, and elsewhere. It is an unforgettable collection,
and includes stories by Marcus Luttrell (author of Lone Survivor),
Mark Owen (author of No Easy Day; the Firsthand Account of the Mission
that Killed Osama Bin Laden), William Morgan, Christian McBurney,
James Otis, H. Beam Piper, Duane Schultz, Hampton Sides, Michael Haas,
Ben S. Malcolm, and many others. It includes legendary tales from the
French and Indian Wars up through present-day Afghanistan and Iraq.
We’ve all read about the killing of Bin Laden and the heroics of
Chris Kyle and the SEALs and other special forces teams. Who hasn’t
seen or heard about the extraordinary success of the book and movie
American Sniper? But what many people don’t know is that they follow
in a direct line from the earlier and equally lethal efforts of
Special Forces in wars throughout our history. Special Operations have
been going on since man first started fighting--from the Trojan War
(think Trojan horse) to the American Revolution and the Civil War, and
from World War II to Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. In one
place, The Greatest Special Ops Stories Ever Told pulls together all
of the greatest tales.
