Great for the Aussies

Well I have been waiting for this book to come out for a long time. And well it was ok. Well i guess it was pretty good, but it isn't in that much detail. I understand Operational Securety but this doesn't say much. It has great information on what the Australian SASR was doing and some of the United States teams. The British SAS is sometimes discribed. Well it doesn't mention the U.S. teams alot and other countries are mentioned but only says there roles. And no detail is described in them. But it has great information on Delta Force and SAS selection. Well i think the SAS is harder. But i hope this review will give an author and insight to write a better book on the full detail of what the teams were REALLY doing.
