Hey all,
I've been kicking around trying my hand at a Military Fiction, set in the present day. It will likely be centered around an USAF Special Tactics squad, and I was wondering if any practiced hands at writing in this genre can direct me toward some good resources for research.
I will not be writing about a real battle, but a believable "could happen" scenario based in an African country. Right now, I'm looking at Gabon as the location, and it will likely involve the recovery and extraction of one or more high valued targets.
I've come up with some stuff via Google, but I'm looking for things a simple Google search might not yield. Recommended books for reading, or even if anyone has real life experiences that could be applicable. Anything of that sort.
Thanks very much!
BTW: If this is the wrong forum for this sorta thing, I apologize. Haven't seen too much on this genre in these forums.
