Using rare and previously unpublished images from around the world,&nbsp;The Elite: The A-Z of Modern Special Operations Forces&nbsp;is the ultimate guide to the secretive world of modern special operations forces. It sends the reader back in time to operations such as&nbsp;Eagle Claw&nbsp;in Iran and the recapture of the Iranian Embassy in London and then forward to recent operations against al-Shabaab and Islamic State. Entries also detail units ranging from the New Zealand SAS Group to the Polish GROM, and key individuals from Iraq counter-terrorism strategist General Stanley McChrystal to Victoria Cross recipient SASR Corporal Mark Donaldson. Answering questions such as how much the latest four-tube night vision goggles worn by the SEALs in&nbsp;Zero Dark Thirty&nbsp;cost, which pistol is most widely employed by special operators around the world and why, and if SOF still use HALO jumps, this book is the definitive single-source guide to the world's elite special forces.
