Editorial Review Product Description 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 fromAmerica'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 of 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 U.S. Special Forces in action. Critics and supporters of the recent American interventions alike should find the technical proficiency of the Special Forces interesting and impressive. Each 12-soldier team may marshal more than a century of combined experience in weapons, foreign languages, intelligence, communications, air control, and trauma medicine. For a book about such an action-packed subject, though, Robinson's effort is somewhat dry, and she devotes more time to mundane background biographies than to the dramatic battle scenes in which the Special Forces invariably find themselves. In addition, Robinson's "secret history" is an authorized and sympathetic one, and readers may be left wondering what she may have left out of her accounts in order to maintain her access. --Alex Roslin Customer Reviews (40)
Too much fluff.
1st half of the book was very good but...........
No Secrets revealed at all
Excellent?I think Not
Excellent modern history of covert operations |

14. Chaos: Making a New Science by James Gleick | |

list price: US$20.00 -- used & new: US$5.95 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 0140092501 Average Customer Review: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description This is not apurely technical book. Instead, it focuses as much on the scientistsstudying chaos as on the chaos itself. In the pages of Gleick's book,the reader meets dozens of extraordinary and eccentric people.Forinstance, Mitchell Feigenbaum, who constructed and regulated his lifeby a 26-hour clock and watched his waking hours come in and out ofphase with those of his coworkers at Los Alamos NationalLaboratory. As for chaos itself, Gleick does an outstanding job ofexplaining the thought processes and investigative techniques thatresearchers bring to bear on chaos problems. Rather than attempt toexplain Julia sets, Lorenz attractors, and the Mandelbrot Set withgigantically complicated equations, Chaos relies on sketches,photographs, and Gleick's wonderful descriptive prose.
