Special Operations: A Selected Bibliography

Abstract

The term special operations denotes the capability of specially trained, equipped, and organized forces to respond to situations across the spectrum of conflict. Today, in a world where terrorist acts, insurgencies, and low-level conflicts threaten American interest, special operations have received renewed attention. As a result, the Services have been tasked to upgrade their special operations capabilities. To assist researchers in a better understanding of the Department of Defense's response to this need, the US Army War College Library presents Special Operations: A selected bibliography. This listing includes references to materials which explain the mission, organization, and background of American special forces and their operations.
