Into the Void: Special Operations After the War on Terror

A lot of the material in here works well for the individual Soldier or operator, wondering what's next? After two decades of COIN and other tasks, SOF needs to figure out what to do with itself, now that we're facing near-peer warfare, rather than strictly counterinsurgency. This book does help to answer that question, and it's a pretty good read, too. While I'll never serve in special operations, this book does help me ask questions for my own fiction writing, as I have a nearly accurate scenario and write about SOF in my military science fiction series. Overall, it's not too exhaustive, but again asks and delivers some possible solutions to the question of what real-world SOF will do after GWoT fighting. I recommend this book for those seeking guidance on what to focus on in the near future, what to expect, and what to look forward to. 5 out of 5 stars
