Publisher Description

An analysis of US Special Operations Command, at the center of America's twenty-first-century wars

This original and accessible book is a comprehensive, authoritative analysis of US Special Operations.

US Special Operations Command trains and equips units to undertake select military activities, frequently high-risk missions, often for the purposes of counterterrorism and counterinsurgency. Since 9/11, impelled by an attack on US soil, these forces have been a central instrument of America's military campaign—operating in about one hundred countries on any given day. This fight—neither hot war nor cold peace—was launched and executed as a new type of global war in 2001 and has since splintered into a spectrum of regional conflicts. The result are our nation's grey wars: hazy and lethal.

This contemporary history, incorporating extensive interviews and archival research by security studies expert N. W. Collins, delves deeply into the transformation of these forces since 9/11.

"This is another great narration by Ganser -- his Island at the Center of the World is amazing, too.This one -- Grey Wars -- is about U.S. military operations around the world, especially our country's commandos, in more than 150 countries. There's a lot about Afghanistan and Iraq -- and also Syria, Libya, Colombia, Philippines, Somalia, Niger, the Balkans, Iran. It's very fast-paced and listening it in my car has improved my commute."
