Abstract

Abstract : In 2018, three Special Forces personnel published an annotated biography called "12 Books Every Green Beret Should Read". The authors' purpose was to provide new members of Special Forces a concise reading list that would expand their knowledge of unconventional warfare. This version focuses on the development of mid-career officers, warrant officers, and noncommissioned officers with multiple years of operational experience. Like the original work, the idea of this recent version is that mid-career green berets would read one book per month over a year-long period to better prepare themselves for planning and executing challenging UW operations.
