Bok av Col. Michael Lee Lanning
Rangers, Green Berets, SEALs, Delta Force, LRRPs, Force Reconand the struggle of the best and the bravest to keep America freeTheyre some of the toughest and most highly trained fighting men in the worldgoing where no ordinary soldier would go and doing what no ordinary soldier would dare. Outnumbered and outgunned, operating in small teams of five or six-deep in enemy territory far from help, they rely on their wits, their skills, and each other to get out alive. Blood Warriors is a penetrating, no-holds-barred account of the training, missions, and history of the military elites who mold Americas most dangerous and highly skilled warriors . . . from the navys SEALs and the Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance to the U.S. Armys Delta Force, Rangers, and Special Forces. Heres an in-depth look at each units methods and standards: whats required and what it takes to survive and succeed. Whether gathering intelligence, capturing prisoners, executing raids and ambushes, or just creating havoc in enemy territory, these men know that death is their constant companionand one small misstep could mean body bags for everyone. Maybe thats why America calls them heroes.
