The books and monographs below were produced by USASOC Historians in the 1990s. As happens with almost all historical works, our understanding of these topics has benefitted from additional sources, further research, and evolving perspectives in the years since these products were first published. However, their overall value to ARSOF researchers far outweighs any drawbacks from outdated content which may remain. Accordingly, they are being made widely available for the first time since they were published nearly three decades ago.
