Since the attacks of September 11, one organization has been
at the forefront of America's military response. Its efforts
turned the tide against al-Qaida in Iraq, killed Bin Laden
and Zarqawi, rescued Captain Phillips and captured Saddam
Hussein. Its commander can direct cruise missile strikes
from nuclear submarines and conduct special operations raids
anywhere in the world. Relentless Strike tells the inside story of Joint Special
Operations Command, the secret military organization that
during the past decade has revolutionized counterterrorism,
seamlessly fusing intelligence and operational skills to
conduct missions that hit the headlines, and those that have
remained in the shadows-until now. Because JSOC includes the
military's most storied special operations units-Delta
Force, SEAL Team 6, the 75th Ranger Regiment-as well as
America's most secret aviation and intelligence units, this
is their story, too. Relentless Strike reveals tension-drenched meetings in war
rooms from the Pentagon to Iraq and special operations
battles from the cabin of an MH-60 Black Hawk to the
driver's seat of Delta Force's Pinzgauer vehicles as they
approach their targets. Through exclusive interviews,
reporter Sean Naylor uses his unique access to reveal how an
organization designed in the 1980s for a very limited
mission set transformed itself after 9/11 to become the
military's premier weapon in the war against terrorism and
how it continues to evolve today.
