Ringkasan: This study on the practice of special operations
and strategy has clearly indicated that civilization from
different areas and ages shared similarities in the practice of
special operations. More importantly, their practice of special
operations highlighted the political and strategic utility of
special operations and its wide usage that transcends cultural
bounds. Both Western and Eastern societies had practiced so
called ‘ungentlemanly warfare’ for millenniums employing a
combination of guile and deception to conduct assassinations;
launching surprise ambushes and raids on enemy forces
and camps; using small units to storm and gain entry info
fortifications by deception, bribery and ruses; sabotaging
enemy material; secretly infiltrating enemy positions to gather
intelligence; and running subversion campaigns. This book
clearly demonstrates that there is no such Western or Eastern
divide in special operations warfare. Humans are born with
the innate nature to fight wars in the most economical and
efficient manner. Not surprisingly, humans from all cultures
are naturally inclined to practice similar maxims in order to
win wars economically and efficiently.
