I tried searching on the internet and this site but couldn't find what I'm looking for. Can someone recommend a good US Army Special Forces book that can be used as a coffee table book? I need a book that someone who's not very fluent in English can enjoy i.e. a picture book. If it's about 1st Group, even better.
This book will be a gift for a foreign friend.

"U.S. Special Operations Forces" is not SF specific but is a great coffee table book. Lots of good pictures and some history of SOF. A gun show neighbor of mine who sells military books sold me a copy that had some spine damage, but was otherwise in fine shape, for $10. The Special Operations Warrior Foundation, as I'm sure you already know, started out as the Bull Simons Scholarship Fund.
It's published by Hugh Lauter Levin Associates, Inc.
ISBN 0-88363-105-9

IMHO The Best Book about U S Army Special Forces is the book published by Faircount Media Group Titled " SPECIAL FORCES " The First Fifty Years...It was published in conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of Special Forces in 2002.The book has many notible writers and contributors including Lt. Gen ( Ret)William P. Yarborough, Rudi Gresham, Col.(Ret) Aaron Bank, and Geoffrey T. Baker to name a few.The book was offered for sale at the Special Forces Association Annual Convention in June, 2002 held in Fayetteville NC. At the time the cost of the book was $25.00. You can contact the publisher of the book for current price and availabilty.

I gotcha covered right here, (http://www.easyriders.com/tattoo/) brother.
Many picture-saturated SF books are in the Military History Section at Barne's & Noble - they're usually more factual books about SF.

Thank you all for your help. I think I might have found one on Amazon.com...now I gotta somehow get the book to where I'm currently squatting.
Razor, not exactly the books I had in mind but I do appreciate girls with tattoos.
Hey, you said a picture book about 1st Group. :p
