Post; Book on special forces training


I was wondering if anyone knows of a book that follows a person, or a group, through special forces training. I LOVE reading books that follow soldiers as they go through training and have already read books like, "Making the Corp" and "The Warrior Elite." If you know of any other books like this that are not about special forces, please let me know about those too. Thanks in advance.

Sorry i cant think of any names. But there are many books about Rangers andIi know at least 1 that is pretty much a journal of a guy who went to Ranger school back in the day. Id try here -> www.armyranger.com and check out the Ranger store. Hope this helps. There are also books by ex-SAS but I hear they are extremely biased.

if you are close to a clothing and sales, go there. The one at Ft. Campbell has an entire wall dedicated to special forces type books.

Richard Marcinko and the Rogue Warrior series is great. I've enjoyed every book so far.
