Reviews

Gr 3–5—Focusing on lesser-known U.S. military units, this series is fascinating and informative. A riveting introductory narrative starts each volume and puts readers right into the action, then whisks them through each special force's history and purpose. Each unit's training regimen is explained in great detail, shedding light on the physical stamina, strong fortitude, and intelligence required of the men in these positions. Jaw-dropping facts—Delta Force estimates that more than 90 percent of Delta Force recruits drop out during the selection process—as well as time lines and each unit's insignia, provide readers with a wealth of information. The sharp photos, several of which show these brave individuals in action, further illustrate the elite nature of these military forces. VERDICT Readers will be hard-pressed to put these down.
