Modern Era

The Company they Keep : Life Inside the U.S. Army Special Forces - Anna J. Simons - U.S. Special Forces--popularly known as "Green Berets", an appellation they disdain--are the most fascinating and highly trained figures in today's military. Anthropologist A.J. Simons obtained unprecedented access to a SF unit, and shows how these unique soldiers think and function independently while belonging to a small and close-knit team, yet face increasing pressure to conform to military bureaucracy--which could destroy this highly successful fighting force as surely as any foe. 

Today's Green Berets : U.S. Army Special Forces Groups (Airborne) - Samuel M. Katz - 64 pages, 208 color photographs. The turning point in America's appreciation for special operations forces came in the sands of the
Iranian desert during Operation Eagle Claw. The raid provided the Reagan Administration the impetus to strengthen America's ability to mount covert operations on a worldwide level. Special Forces teams were deployed around the world to protect America's interest, and operated in almost all operations the U.S. Army involved. Concord photo book starts with the making of a green Beret, then go on to illustrate the Special Forces in action, the weapons used by these forces, and their operations in the recent wars.
