In the wars and conflicts since World War II, naval commandos have been used with great effectiveness by the USA, Great Britain and Israel. From Vietnam to Kuwait, from Northern Ireland to the Falklands, from the Suez Canal to Lebanon, they have developed into one of the deadliest forces in their nations' special operations arsenals. This book is an up-to-date story of naval commando warfare that focuses on the spectacular exploits and unique training of the three unique fighting forces. Through interviews with combat veterans, the author explores the personality and make-up of an underwater warrior, and provides a look at the many exotic weapons at their disposal. Samuel M. Katz is the author of "The Elite", "Soldier Spies: Israeli Military Intelligence" and "Israel Versus Jibril".
