The Frictions of War





Spec Ops: Case Studies in Special Operations Warfare: Theory and Practice by William H. McRaven is an utterly fascinating book.  McRaven explores various special operations from World War II to the Raid on Entebbe, showing, by example and theory, how a successful special operation works to reduce the “frictions of war.”

The theory component of the book has great explanatory value.  It should be read with great care, as it is the key to the success of a special operation.
