Author James Adams, defense correspondent for The Sunday Times in
London, frequently seems overly enthusiastic, as if he were writing ad copy
in a magazine for would-be mercenaries. But you work with what's available,
and Adams does manage some credible reporting on Britain's Special Air
Service (SAS) and their efforts against the IRA, the war in Afghanistan, and
the series of complete screw-ups in Grenada (which the U.S. press failed to
notice during their love affair with Reagan). Other chapters deal with
special forces training and equipment, Charles Beckwith's Delta Force, and
Soviet operations. There is also a bibliography with 90 titles, and a
13-page appendix that describes special forces alphabetically by country.
