Vice Adm. William H. McRaven helped to devise the strategy for how to bring down Osama bin Laden, and commanded the courageous U.S. military unit that carried it out on May 1, 2011, ending one of the greatest manhunts in history. In Spec Ops, a well-organized and deeply researched study, McRaven analyzes eight classic special operations. Six are from WWII: the German commando raid on the Belgian fort Eben Emael (1940); the Italian torpedo attack on the Alexandria harbor (1941); the British commando raid on Nazaire, France (1942); the German glider rescue of Benito Mussolini (1943); the British midget-submarine attack on the Tirpitz (1943); and the U.S. Ranger rescue mission at the Cabanatuan POW camp in the Philippines (1945). The two post-WWII examples are the U.S. Army raid on the Son Tay POW camp in North Vietnam (1970) and the Israeli rescue of the skyjacked hostages in Entebbe, Uganda (1976). McRaven--who commands a U.S. Navy SEAL team--pinpoints six essential principles of "spec ops" success: simplicity, security, repetition, surprise, speed and purpose. For each of the case studies, he provides political and military context, a meticulous reconstruction of the mission itself and an analysis of the operation in relation to his six principles. McRaven deems the Son Tay raid "the best modern example of a successful spec op which] should be considered textbook material for future missions." His own book is an instructive textbook that will be closely studied by students of the military arts. Maps, photos.

Good idea great product
Color: Gloss Black
I bought this as a gift. The person loves it. It’s very compact. She puts it in her bag and travels with it. It’s easy because you can charge it at home and then it’s already. She sometimes brings her charger with her so she can use it out.

Works great.
Color: Gloss Black
We preferred this model because the button is on top of the unit, making it easier to use. And we do use it often. The battery lasts for a reasonable amount of time too, and charges quickly on USB.

Great Product - Stop Wasting Batteries!
Color: Gloss Black
Super happy with this purchase and so glad it's rechargeable. So much better than the fancy brand we had that went through batteries like crazy and had a wobbly shaft. Lots of power and can be easily used for travel as we do for blending protein powder and cream into coffee. It's already traveled to Europe twice, Tahiti, Australia and a Panama cruise and still working like the day we got it. We're very pleased with the quality and the price.

Frothing like a barista!
Color: Gloss Black
Works great! It took some practice to produce froth without the coffee splattering! But, once I got the hang of it, the results were amazing!

Best frother ever!
Color: Flat Black
Super easy to use! Love the 3 speed mode. Makes my morning coffee a breeze to make. Also love the fact that it’s rechargeable. So far only charged once and it’s long lasting. Favor part about it is the storage, doesn’t need to stand straight and be out. Can be easily cleaned and stored away with the cover. Feels very high quality. Highly recommend!
