Author Michael E Haskew published the novel “SAS and Special Forces in World War II” in 2021. It may also appear as "Special Forces in WWII". Mr. Haskew has published nearly 30 books on military history.

I categorize this novel as ‘G’. The book tells the story of the various special military forces deployed in WWII. This includes both Allied and Axis powers. Each chapter focuses on those forces from a particular country. The coverage is a high-level overview of each unit's activities.

I enjoyed the 6 hours I spent reading this 192-page WWII history. Most of the units I had read about before. A few were new to me. Some units included did not, in my mind, qualify as a 'special force'. The book does have many photos and some good maps. I like the selected cover art. I give this novel a 3.8 (rounded up to a 4) out of 5.
