This one may be out of print - excellent book -and not just because my team is on the cover - sepia'd and stippled out of recognition for anybody not on the team - but hey you guys know how easy it is to recognize your own own teamies.

ISBN: 0-380-73127-4
sub title: Life Inside the US Army Special Forces

!st Sentence from back cover:
"US Army special Forces sodiers disdain the Hollywood "Green Beret" label, but they are still among the most fascinating and highly trained figures in today's military. ..."

Written by an anthroplogist who married an SF NCO she kinda gets it...

I would say yes it is a good book to pass off. But you may not want to because of Chp 11. I remember my Dad say something about how interesting that Ch was. No big deal for me (us). But....
