About the Book

While America enjoyed apparent peacetime between Vietnam and 9/11, its Special Forces waged silent wars across the globe. Christopher Brewer's remarkable memoir finally reveals these classified operations, cleared for publication by the Department of Defense after decades of secrecy.From a midnight standoff with Pablo Escobar's forces in Colombia to preventing a military coup in Panama, Brewer's fourteen-year journey through Special Forces captures the dangerous reality of America's shadow warriors. Read how when Escobar threatened to kill everyone at a radar site in Colombia unless operations ceased, US Special Forces operators quickly transitioned from teachers to fighters and convinced Escobar to stand down without firing a shot, then disappeared back into the shadows. Learn how US Special Forces in Panama, stood firm against coup plotters while five to ten armed men stormed police headquarters, creating a tense standoff that could have erupted into bloodshed at any moment.Beyond combat, the author reveals the psychological challenges of operating undercover in hostile territories-walking streets where Americans were targets, spotting surveillance teams through crowded markets, and avoiding notice while gathering information critical to national security.Unlike conventional military memoirs, Brewer focuses on the overlooked "tweener" period when Special Forces operated in over 130 countries without public recognition. These weren't simply training missions-they were high-stakes operations where operators lived by their wits, linguistic skills, and tactical expertise, without backup if things went wrong.Through the grueling Selection course to operations in Colombia, Panama, Korea, and the Philippines, the author provides unprecedented access to the secretive world of Special Forces. He describes the ingenuity and resourcefulness of Special Forces operators creating high-risk training events with little or no resources in the Philippines, navigating diplomatic crises in Korea, and making life-or-death decisions when surrounded by potential enemies.For those seeking to understand how America projects power between major conflicts, this groundbreaking memoir reveals the extraordinary operators who fight when no one is watching-and the shadow wars that shaped our modern world.
