Inhaltsangabe

Performing search-and-seizure missions, investigating enemy coastlines, and gathering secret information are just some of the duties that Marine Force Recon members take on. These soldiers go deep inside enemy territory to gather crucial information, which is passed on to other U.S. military groups to help them plan their strikes. Discover Marine Force Recon's tactics for retrieving intelligence and fighting the enemy as they work with all branches of the U.S. military.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"These eye-catching titles, each written in five short chapters, will be attractive to reluctant readers. All begin dramatically with an exotic setting, an emergency situation, and/or figures exhibiting daring military skills. The second chapter places the special unit in a historical context, and the following sections flesh out the roles the unit members play within their branch and in the military as a whole. The books conclude with a chapter on training and education. The risks and destructive nature of the jobs aren't sugarcoated, but the texts are not graphic. Transitions between chapters are smooth, though the language is sometimes stilted. The writing is filled with acronyms that are, unfortunately, often not included in the glossary. Sprinkled throughout the chapters are text boxes with definitions and additional information, quotations, and anecdotes about real operations. The clear photos are well captioned." --School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
