Highly-trained in warfare, self-defense,\ninfiltration, and deep surveillance, \"the Unit,\" as the Department of\nDefense has asked us to refer to it, has been responsible for preventing dozens\nof terrorist attacks in the Western world.

But compelled into service by a debt he felt he owed to\nhis new country, he rose through the ranks of the military to become one of its\nmost elite and skilled operators.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWith humor and humility, Adam shares stories of life-threatening injuries, of\nthe camaraderie and capabilities of his team, and of the incredible\nmissions―but also of the growth he experienced as he learned to understand his\nown moderate faith.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEnthralling and eye-opening, \u003ci\u003eThe Unit\u003c\/i\u003e is at once a gripping\naccount of the fight against terror, an urgent examination of the need for\ndiversity, and an inside look at how America fights its battles abroad in the\nmodern age of terrorism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eADAM GAMAL\u003c\/b\u003e is a pseudonym created to keep the author\nand his family safe from harm.
