| Language | ENG |
| Author | Lambakis, Steve |
| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The challenges Colin Gray faced to publish a fully fleshed out analysis of the contribution made by special operations to defense and security were many. James Kiras runs through his different efforts across the year in a nearby tribute. Colin believed that the best way to understand the strategic utility of special operations was to look at it through the lens of history, and, as one who worked closely with him on his project, I would like to lay out what I believe were his most significant insights on this subject and look at what might be called his pioneering, and sadly unpublished, work on the subject: Special Operations: What Succeeds and Why. |
