I don't know if it's still in print, but I really enjoyed "Secret
Armies" by
James Adams. It's subtitled "Inside the American, Soviet and European
Special
Forces". My edition was from a book club and is dated 1987. It covers
Special
Forces use mostly in the post war. I think I'll re-read it sometime
soon. Very
good book and just what your friend is after.

If it's not in print, have your friend check "Bookfinders.com". This is
a good
site for getting out of print books. Good luck.
