Offering an understanding of the complexities of the rationales and motivations which drive the politics and weapons policies of the countries of the Middle East, despite a worldwide effort to clamp down on missile proliferation, this book seeks to give readers the full range of opinions on the subject. The two Gulf Wars of recent years emphasized the fact that the day of the ballistic missile is far from over. Whereas the very nature of the scale of terror represented by the armouries of the superpowers made war virtually impossible, the inadequecy of the missiles available to many Third World countries and to the states of the Middle East, in particular, has enabled countries such as Iraq, Iran and Syria to unleash missile attacks upon each other or their neighbours, creating more terror than damage but also raising the threat of unconventional attack using weapons of mass destruction. The common knowledge that Israel has for some years had a nuclear capability only adds to the urgency felt by her neighbours to be able either to respond in kind or to achieve a new nuclear stalemate through the fear of mutual annihilation. The end of the Cold War, whilst bringing an end to the immediate threat of a nuclear holocaust, created a new danger - the possible seepage of missile and unconventional weapons technology from the former Soviet Union to the Third World, either through the illegal transfer of hardware or through a form of scientific brain-drain caused by the temptation of unemployed scientists to seek their fortunes in new pastures. There is nothing simple about the danger of unconventional missile warfare in the Middle East. The possession of an effective ballistic missile capability represents extremely important aspects of prestige and "face" in the Arab world. A vital part of the build-up of that prestige lies in secrecy.

Richard Bennett
Since the siege at London's Iranian Embassy in 1980, the reputation of special military units such as the SAS has grown steadily. It is now taken for granted that special forces are ideal for a world of small, balkanized conflicts and terrorist activity - with a tactical focus that minimizes casualties, they can also be viewed as "election-friendly" for democratic governments. This easy-to-use reference examines the international history of Special Forces from inception to deployment. It looks at all aspects of the overlap between elite forces and the worlds of intelligence and counterterrorism, also taking an objective look at the controversial role of Special Forces and "freelancers" in covert operations such as assassination. Up-to-date, it looks at the relevance of Special Forces to the global fallout of September 11th 2001, their role in Afghanistan, the former Yugoslavia and the Middle East. Importantly, it separates the reality from the macho myths to make for an authoritative and often frightening read.

Every page
is packed with useful information and covers the subject comprehensively
in a readable style, interspersed by interesting facts e.g. the original
definition of a (Roman) mile.
Many books on navigation assume background knowledge, which may not always
be available. Starting with basics including mapping conventions and grid
reference systems, it goes on to give very detailed and valuable coverage
to quite an advanced level. Use of handheld GPS instruments is thoroughly
explored. The emphasis is on terrestrial navigation though coastal and
maritime topics are also thoroughly described. The only significant and
deliberate ommission is astro-navigation with a sextant, which would be of
historical interest only to the great majority.
The book continues with very practical advice on survival planning, search & rescue procedures, and tracking. Lastly there is an chapter on escape and evasion.

SOG
A Photo History of the Secret Wars
by John L. Plaster
SOG was the Vietnam War’s only covert special warfare unit. So well did SOG
keep its secrets that only a handful of Vietnam veterans ever heard of it
till long after the war was over, and most SOG men thought their missions
would never be declassified. When SOG was disbanded in 1972, its thousands
of photographs and negatives were ordered burned. But some veterans had
brought home personal copies of “official” photos taken on operations, along
with thousands of snapshots taken by the men themselves. WhenPlaster,
himself a three-tour SOG veteran, began working on his history of SOG he
contacted his secret war comrades and uncovered this wealth of photos. The
result is the greatest special operations photo collection ever assembled.
Be one of the first toget your hands on more than 700 extremely rare of SOG
recon teams in action behind enemy lines in Cambodia, Laos and even North
Vietnam. This powerful book belongs on the bookshelf of every American. 8
