Description:
Humanity has waged war since it first emerged on the plains of Africa, a natural capacity for violence harnessed and unleashed on a larger scale in service of a greater cause. Yet while early skirmishes were usually between lightly armed tribes, in time war became a profession, one populated by different calibres of warrior. Inevitably, the best fighters rose to the top. From the battlefields of ancient Greece to feudal Japan, imperial France, the jungles of Vietnam and the streets of Mogadishu, in Elite Forces you will meet some of history’s finest soldiers, crack troops trained and trusted to turn the tide of battle or fight to the death in defence of their ruler. You will find out how a Persian Immortal prepared for war, discover the origins of the formidable Gurkhas, storm the Iranian embassy with the SAS and witness a savage gunfight in a war-ravaged African capital. You will also meet men who served a cruel and deluded tyrant, pillaged towns for profit and assassinated targets in cold blood. This is war, and these are the soldiers who have shaped some of the bloodiest conflicts man has ever witnessed.
