(Subject: History & Development of Warfare - General) In the early 1960s the US formed secret armies in Vietnam and Laos in response to President Kennedy's summons for 'a whole new kind of strategy, a wholly different kind of force, and therefore a new and wholly different kind of military training'. Yet guerrilla warfare, the impetus behind the creation of the modern Special Forces units during the Second World War, has throughout history spawned unconventional and highly skilled forces. Swords of Lightning relates the history of the Special Forces by considering their many and varied peacetime and battlefield tasks.
