SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND ELITE UNITS 1939-1988 : A RESEARCH GUIDE
by Roger Beaumont

Roger Beaumont provides a comprehensive survey of modern special operations. His wide-ranging introduction sets the subject in its historical, typological, and national contexts, offering an overview of the use of special operations and elite units from the second World War to the 1980's. The bibliographic entries describe a broad sampling of materials, from those accessible through interlibrary services to those far removed from central archives and major research libraries. The aim throughout has been to provide those new to the subject and seasoned researchers with a single, easy-to-use source for information about this little-known and commonly misunderstood facet of military practice.
