SHADOW WARRIORS

This long and detailed work is a look at our country's Special Forces from the twentieth century through the present. Beginning with the famed OSS of WWII and concluding with the present world conflict, Clancy focuses much of the work on the career of co-author General Carl Stiner. With a career that spanned the 1950s through Desert Storm and after, Stiner has had a profound impact on the special operators. We learn of events in Vietnam, the failed Iranian hostage rescue operation, Lebanon, Grenada, a close account of the assault on Panama, Desert Storm, today's War on Terror, and a number of other affairs. Jonathan Marosz has a pleasant voice that does a fine job in this lengthy production. His delivery has a steady rhythm, nuanced intonations, and a confident tone. He even does well with military acronyms. M.T.F. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 03]
