New in paperback, Linda Robinson's intimate, exclusive and New York Times best-selling account of the most secretive and elite soldiers in the US Army today Army Special Forces soldiers have been at the forefront of America's counterterrorist campaigns in recent years. But little is known about the brave, seasoned individuals from America's heartland who belong to this secretive unit. Veteran journalist Linda Robinson gained access to their closed community, traveling with them on the frontlines and interviewing them at their home bases. She describes their training, doctrine and methods, and recounts the missions of this post-Vietnam generation fo commandos in Panama, El Salvador, Desert Storm, Somalia, the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq. More Special Forces were deployed in Iraq than in any previous conflict, and Masters of Chaos recounts in detail their untold missions in the north against Ansar al-Islam and the dramatic race to secure the western desert with a handful of men aboard the "war pigs".Through this elite band of patriots, men like "Rawhide", Alan, "Killer", Michael T, "Grit" and Colonel Charlie, Linda Robinson provides a gripping narrative of US Special Forces in action.
