The SEAL commandos of the US Navy Special Warfare Command rate high among the world's most superbly trained, motivated and equipped special forces. They strike by stealth, from the sea, and return to its silent cover when their job is done. They can be inserted by fast patrol craft, inflatable boat, submarine, scuba, helicopter or parachute; they are masters of stealthy reconnaissance, sabotage, rescue, and many other special forces missions; in the Gulf War they even roamed deep behind enemy lines in heavily-armed desert buggies. This full-color photo book describes and illustrates the SEALs' uniquely punishing selection training, their tactical organization, uniforms, insignia, personal equipment, weapons and special transport, in striking images supported by detailed text and captions. - Back cover.

"Milton's dramatic poem Samson Agonistes is rich with ambiguities and here Professor Shawcross proposes that they are intentional: the actual words, the dates of composition, the genre and the characters - particularly Samson and Dalila but also Manoa, Harapha, and the Chorus. Ambiguity also lies in Milton's presentation of political issues both philosophical and practical, his treatment of gender concepts, the constant questioning of the reader, and the poem's effect. Discussing all these elements, Shawcross follows with a detailed reading of the text which argues that it remains purposefully ambiguous, reflecting Milton's own recognition of the uncertainty of the content, and suggesting that Milton himself would question some of the 'solutions' that modern scholarship has offered in the last two decades."--Jacket.
