Inside the Green Berets, The First Thirty Years: A History of the U.S. Army Special Forces

This story of the Unites States Army Special Forces, written in the year of its thirtieth anniversary, will, if it succeeds in fulfilling my intentions, serve three purposes.  It will inform the American public of the accomplishments of the Forces, without going into the sort of detail found in unit histories.  It will provide additional information for those with more than a passing knowledge of, or interest in, the Forces.  Finally, it will provide future members of the Forces with a guide that will help them avoid past mistakes and realize future potentials and goals.
