What does it take, both physically and mentally, to join the world's most respected—and feared—military units? Lewis looks at the origins, training, tactics, weapons, and achievements of regiments such as Britain's SAS and Paratroopers, the US Navy SEALS, Delta Force, Army Rangers and Green Berets, Russia's Spetsnaz, and the Israeli Special Forces, as well as the codes that bind their members together. He looks at training in everything from wilderness survival to hand-to-hand combat.
Modern special forces date back to the First World War, and the attempts by the Allies and the central powers to break the military deadlock on the Western Front. One stratagem of the Allies was to raise an irregular Arab army under Colonel T.E. Lawrence: this was to foment trouble against the Turks and so draw off Central Power resources from the main show. The Germans, meanwhile, sought to break through the Allied trenches on the Western Front by creating and training special Stosstruppen. These “shock troops” caused mayhem during the Michael Offensive of 1918 until Allied might overcame them.
While you are reading this, Special Forces are in action somewhere in the world. It takes a special kind of person to be a Special Forces soldier. All Special Forces have stringent selection processes, after which those few who qualify are subjected to gruelling training regimes intended to turn them into killers who are also able to master many military trades, and survive in some of the most hostile places on earth.
This book tells you what you need to know about the UK and the US’s Special Forces, their history, their training, and the skills you will be expected to master.
