Each of these books highlights an important mission of a special operations force and details the history leading to the unit's creation. Matter-of-fact, choppy texts drily cover each unit's entry qualifications and training process, as well as the specialized skills and tools/weaponry used. Lots of photos and graphics help break up the accessible texts. A few "Extreme Facts" are appended. Timeline. Glos., ind. Review covers these Checkerboard Library: Special Ops titles: Army Rangers, Delta Force, Green Berets, Marine Force Recon, Navy Seals, and Pararescue Jumpers.
