Reviews
A smoothly penned and thoroughly researched account of an important military asset in the ongoing U.S. war against terrorism., Naylor informs and provokes . . . . His interviews with inside sources endow the narrative with a wealth of information, and the book benefits from Mr. Naylor's familiarity with the subject . . . . Naylor succeeds splendidly in showing how and why the Joint Special Operations Command evolved--and why it will remain a valuable weapon., The deeply reported, richly sourced, heavily footnoted tome tells the story of the creation of the world's most effective and lethal manhunting organization. . . . What makes Relentless Strike an indispensable history and a hell of a read is how Naylor uses his tremendous access to the community, a treasure of existing literature and documents on the subject, and superb insight to craft a book that informs and entertains., Over the past quarter-century, Sean Naylor has become one of the country's foremost experts on special operations forces., All the intrigue one would expect from the stories of America's most highly classified and secretive military units. . . . Relentless Strike is likely the best definitive history of how America's special operations community rose like a Phoenix from the ashes of the Desert One fiasco to become the most capable elite fighting force in the world., A history of the Joint Special Operations Command, one of the most elite and little-understood pieces of the American military. While most people know about Delta Force and SEAL Team 6, few have heard of their umbrella group, JSOC. . . . Naylor delivers an unquestionably comprehensive history., A superb piece of writing . . . . An exceptionally well written, lucid and comprehensive account as to the rise and supremacy of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) on today's battlefields. . . . The book is extraordinary and is probably better and more detailed than that which would be produced by the several Command historians., Naylor ( Not a Good Day to Die ), a journalist who specializes in covering special operations, has produced the most complete history to date of the most secret organization within the U.S. military: the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). Given the organization's super-secret status, much of Naylor's engrossing material was gleaned from hundreds of interviews with former members. . . . Naylor's powerful and informative history is essential to understanding America's evolving military capability and the on-going war against global terrorism., Naylor provides a step-by-step, mission-by-mission, behind-the-scenes account as special operations units under JSOC's umbrella, such as Delta Force and SEAL Team 6, along with its use of drone aircraft to monitor and attack terrorist targets, became better known than JSOC itself. Along the way, he offers numerous revelations., Fascinating...[ Relentless Strike ] might've sunk from the weight of its alphabet-agency acronyms in lesser hands. But Naylor, who spent 23 years covering military affairs at Army Times , often accompanying units into battle, sprinkles his 518 pages of heavily footnoted text with plenty of headline-worthy anecdotes. Naylor clearly admires the skill, tenacity and creativity of such troops. You'd think that the U.S. Special Operations Command...would quietly, if not publicly, appreciate the publication of this authoritative, largely admiring, history., A highly readable book that is part military history and part Tom Clancy novel, drawing the reader into tales of bravery and sacrifice on a sometimes unimaginable scale. . . . The history of America's most elite fighting force is told with panache and critical analysis, making this one of the must-read military history books of the year., A remarkable achievement, Relentless Strike will stand for decades as the definitive narrative of U.S. special operations, from the tragedy of Desert One to recent triumphs in unforgiving wars. With a paid-the-dues background as a combat journalist and deep-insider sources, Sean Naylor has delivered a thrilling page-turner that also happens to be superb history - and a great tribute to the finest warriors who ever went into combat. - Ralph Peters, Fox News Strategic Analyst and bestselling author of Valley of the Shadow "Naylor doesn't leave much uncovered as he writes the most comprehensive history of America's secret war. Relentless Strike deftly tells the story of JSOC, the nation's counterterrorism command, and its rise from obscurity to the tip of the spear. It brings to life the unique men who form the JSOC ranks and the daring missions that have become its signature." - Kevin Maurer, bestselling co-author of No Easy Day "The gripping inside story of America's war on terror from a writer whose sources reach into the heart of America's special operations community. If you want to know the truth about the mission that took out bin Laden, this is the book to read. Sean Naylor is a worthy successor to Tom Clancy." - Michael Smith, bestselling author of Killer Elite

Synopsis
For the first time ever, the full explosive history of Joint Special Operations Command--the powerful and secretive military organization responsible for America's covert war on terror, The New York Times Bestseller and Winner of the 2015 Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Writing Award for Unit History 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 intelligenceunits, 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 howit continues to evolve today., The New York Times Bestseller and Winner of the 2015 Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Writing Award for Unit History Since the attacks of September 11, one organization has been at the forefront of America's military response.
