The inside stories of 27 top-secret missions carried out by elite ‘shadow war’ units

These are the true, behind-the-scenes stories of 27 of the most daring covert military operations, or black ops, of the past 60 years, from raids into Laos by elite unit MAC-V-SOG to cut the Ho Chi Minh trail during the Vietnam War to the US Navy SEAL 6 operation, Neptune’s Spear, in Abbottabad, which resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden.

Lewis shines a brilliant light on the ‘shadow war’ units that conduct clandestine operations and tells in full and fascinating detail the stories behind the most daring missions of the last fifty years, including the the Sayeret Matkal/Mossad ‘Wrath of God’ mission to assassinate those behind the Munich Olympic massacre of Olympic athletes and the Delta Force mission in Somalia using Black Hawk helicopters which went so tragically wrong.
