My husband was in Special Forces (Green Beret) and loved the quality of this knife.  Now I have to buy him one.  Fast shipping also.

During my twenty years of service in the Marines I had several friends who served in special ops units.  Thinking back to their comments about the various training programs that had to go through, I can't but help think that reading a book like this before reporting in would have been a great benefit.  I recommend that anyone interested in a special ops unit read this book.

They are heroes. Well written accounts of the men who can do it all but are only appreciated by those who need them the most. They are not the glory hounds that some other Special Forces groups are.

If it's good enough for the USMC, it's good enough for me.  Bought a couple of these recently and have been extremely impressed with the quality of these!

SEAL TEAM 666 ISBN: 9781250007353 St Martin's Press, Hardcover, 310 pages by Weston Ochse is a paranormal action novel covering action by a Navy Seal Team.
Petty Officer First Class Jack Walker has almost completed his Seal training when he is pulled out, given his certificate and is sent to join a special Seal Team that operates even more covertly than the rest. It is under the jurisdiction of a small unit answerable only to the President and Vice-President. He is the replacement for a member recently killed and has been chosen because of unusual happenings in his childhood that the selecting powers believe will make him valuable to the team in pursuing their highly unusual missions. The story follows this team on several missions as they encounter a number of paranormal and demonic creatures from a long lost time.
The story and its presentation provide a dichotomous reaction in this reader and needs perhaps a slight SPOILER ALERT.. The author is well versed in his acquired knowledge of languages, ancient legends and the activities of Navy Seals and has provided a story that is interesting and moves well. However, accepting the fact that it is a novel and one dealing with the supernatural, it is still difficult to accept the retention of Walker on the Team. He does not follow orders and perhaps more importantly, the reason for his selection repeatedly appears to be detrimental rather than helpful. It is difficult for any person, and probably especially for the many persons today who have had any combat training, to accept the consistent retention of a member who can place the entire team in jeopardy. As an aside, when dealing with supernatural powers, it is surprising that nothing new has been provided and added to the traditional arms carried by the Seals. Conclusion: an enjoyable read if one can overlook the listed features. Reviewed by John H. Manhold, award winning fiction/non-fiction author.

Typical "Top Notch" quality from Condor. I didn't even have to adjust the hat size. Has small velcro patch on the top for overhead visibility from "friendly forces" when using glow-in-the-dark patch, and velcro out back for nametape / unit affiliation / blood type / etc.

Above and Beyond tells the story of US Army Special Forces (Green Berets) in a way that only a Special Forces veteran can. Mr. Morris does a great job in walking the reader through a myriad of assignments conducted by Special Forces. A must read for special operations enthusiasts.

It is a good look at military life.  The quality of training that Chris went threw is shown here in his results and attitude. I enjoyed it very much.

spec ops products, T.H.E.Bag with it's internal frame and pack-rat organizer work very well with Maxpedition and other molle/pals systems. spec-ops has smoother zippers and heavier fabric than any of their competition [that i have actually had my hands on], they surly deserve 10 of 10 points for their products. i give them an 11 [the extra 1 is for doing their thing in the USA] when i find spec-ops add on pouches that serve my needs, i will publicly give my other hard use gear to the first asian-american i can find.

The author - a former Special Forces Soldier and combat veteran himself has done a fine job in presenting the Special Forces of the world in an interest and informative manner.  A must read for anyone researching the  Special Forces of the world - their missions and capabilities.
The book  is written with an understanding that comes from being an insider to the SF  community as well as a long time soldier.  It is not only a fascinating  read - it is also a valuable research tool.  Highly recommended!

Excellent overview by a rare individual who successfully completed 3 SF Selection Courses:

UK SAS
Rhodie SAS
Selous Scouts

It's an excellent glimpse of an underreported conflict as well as little known special forces organizations.

And it also offers a brief slice of Mozambique's RENAMO created and nurtured to counter FRELIMO once they gained control of bordering Mozambique to take the pressure off of Rhodesia and South Africa.

Highly recommended

It would be a mistake to think of them as mil spec MRE's. They are great for what they are and advertized to be. They fill a need between a combat ration and smashed PBJ's in a day pack et cetera.

These former special forces soldiers have set up a security company.  This has been done many times.  I love this series though.  It is very well done.  You get three full length books in this set.  Well worth your time and money.

I enjoyed reading this book.  P.W. states in the book that all the details were not perfectly accurate but that the point was to praise the men who handle Force Recon.  There were times that I speed read because authors may get bogged down in a part of the story that might not interest me or to me not be pertinent to the story.  I believe that these special ops guys are very focused and would not think some of the things she writes while in the middle of a mission but I have worked some special ops in Law Enforcement  so I know you are focused only on that op.  I have enjoyed the book for its light reading and the respect for these special men.

This book not only goes into all of the exercise routines used by various special forces, but also helps you to plan a workout schedule to measure your progress.  The book also goes in stretching and warm-ups, which is sometimes neglected by people exercising.  The background information on the different special forces is also very interesting.

I would urge anyone with an interest in the Special Forces to buy this book. I am in the Army (actually writing this from afghanistan)and have read many military books and yet this one still had plenty of new things that i never hear before. President John Kennedys trip to Fort Bragg early in his term as well as the fact that Winston Churchill himself chose to call his elite troops "Commando" are just two examples of the kind of interesting details you will find in Michael Lannings pages. I liked the Daily Training schedule he included in the appendix and if someone is thinking of trying out for the Army Rangers,Delta Force or Navy Seals you would do well to have the information in this book. Lastly i wanted to mention the fact that you get the chapters set up where you get the history of a given unit first and then you read what the units responsibilities are Today.

When generally buying books on special forces, I usually set the bar lower than normal - as I really don't expect to learn much that is not  in the public domain already.

This book however is an exeception and has proved me wrong - by a long way.

It contains detailed information on special forces selection, tactics,techniques and procedures that I have not read before - which is always a good sign in a book of this category.

I particularly liked the mission planning element of the book - something I have never seen anywhere else before, and worth the purchase alone.

Photos and graphics are of a high standard, with many not seen in print before.

In summary "Operators" is a very informative read.
