Více o knize

The book explores the critical role of Special Operations Forces (SOF) in stabilizing weak or failing states, which pose significant threats to U.S. and Western interests. It posits that effective SOF deployment can reduce the need for large-scale military interventions, as evidenced by operations in Colombia and Afghanistan. The author advocates for reforms in doctrine, organization, and rank structure within SOF to enhance their effectiveness in stability operations. Recommendations aim to strengthen U.S. capabilities in addressing crises stemming from deteriorating nation states.
