About this audiobook
Robinson follows the Special Forces from their first post-Vietnam combat in Panama, El Salvador, Desert Storm, Somalia, and the Balkans to their recent trials and triumphs in Afghanistan and Iraq. She witnessed their secret sleuthing and unsung successes in southern Iraq, and recounts here for the first time the dramatic firefights of the western desert. Her blow-by-blow story of the attack on Ansar al-Islam's international terrorist training camp has never been told before.
The most comprehensive account ever of the modern-day Special Forces in action, Masters of Chaos is filled with riveting, intimate detail in the words of a close-knit band of soldiers who have done it all.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5My thoughts about special forces have changed in reading this book. The many stories of how special forces are deployed gave me a new perspective on all of the work that they do.Reactions to this book were mixed oddly for me. In one hand I enjoyed learning all the details, and the writing is solid. On the other hand I was never drawn into the story in an exciting way. I desperately wanted to read further, but felt like things just dragged on and on. It was a good book, but unfortunately it did not take hold of me.
