Synopsis Written in conjunction with U.S. Army General Carl Stiner, Tom Clancy's nonfiction book is a history of the U.S. Special Forces and how they evolved, from their rather shadowy presence in World War II and Vietnam, to their much more visible role in the 1980 hostage incident in Tehran and their work in the first Gulf War. In addition, the book thoroughly covers Stiner's army career--one that put him in the forefront of virtually every major U.S. military operation from World War II to Desert Storm.
