War Stories of the Green Berets

This military history shares firsthand accounts of the frontlines of wars and conflicts around the globe from members of the US Army Special Forces.

The US Army Special Forces, more familiarly known as the Green Berets, are the elite fighting force of the United States military. Their experiences in covert operations and unconventional warfare have been a part of American military action since the 1950s. Author Hans Halberstadt has collected first-hand recollections of dozens of Green Berets, past and present, who spent time on the battlefields of Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Kuwait, and other conflicts. Their harrowing stories are told here, providing rare insight into the world of the Green Beret.

Originally published in 1994, this edition of War Stories of the Green Berets includes nearly one hundred pages of new material. It is fully updated to include post-Vietnam War conflicts, including the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
