This book explores the secret and highly dangerous exploits of the legendary units of the U.S. Air Force's air commandos from their first mission behind enemy lines in World War II to the most recent operations in Panama, Grenada, Liberia, and Operation Desert Storm. He examines in detail the evolution of secret squadrons, their new breed of gunships, and their honing of flexible military responses.
McQuaid (history, Lake Erie College) examines the turbulent and violent 60's and early 70's. Everything hinged on a debacle called Vietnam. Without Vietnam there would have been no anti-war movement, without the anti-war movement, no fragmentation of the Democratic Party, without the fragmentation of the Democratic Party. No Nixon. A history of the USAF special forces, featuring first-hand accounts from pilots and crews involved in WWII and conflicts in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Discusses the Air Commando's role in Japan, Grenada, Panama, and the Persian Gulf, with a chapter on special operations 1992-1994.
