When the US Air Force decided to create an elite “special tactics” team in the late 1970s to work with special-operations forces, John T. Carney was the man they turned to. Since then Carney and the US Air Force Special Tactics units have circled the world on clandestine missions. They have combated terrorists and overthrown dangerous dictators.

Now, for the first time, Colonel Carney lifts the veil of secrecy and reveals what really goes on inside the special-operations forces that are at the forefront of contemporary warfare.
