An “intimate, valuable history” (New York Times) of the United States Special Forces from the perspective of the fighters who served in its ranks

Army special force soldiers have been at the forefront of America's war in Afghanistan and the counterterrorist campaigns of recent years. But little is known about the grave, seasoned individuals from America's heartland who belong to this secretive unit. Veteran war reporter Linda Robinson gained access to their closed community starting in 2001, travelled with them on the front lines, and interviewed them at their home bases. In Masters of Chaos, she graphically recounts the experiences of this post-Vietnam generation of commandos in Panama, El Salvador, Desert Storm, Somalia, the Balkans, Afghanistan, and Iraq, including details of dramatic, previously untold missions.
