"Based on exclusive access to both the personnel and the archives of the
Royal Netherlands Army Special Forces Regiment (Korps Commandotroepen),
this book tells the unique history of the Dutch Green Berets and their
operations in the post-Cold War era. With a focus on the Special Forces'
secret missions abroad - especially in Iraq, Afghanistan and West
Africa - this narrative provides exceptional insides into the Dutch
commando community, into the use of Special Forces in modern coalition
warfare and into the challenges facing contemporary counter-insurgency
campaigns. Callsign Nassau primarily conveys the story of how the
Netherlands transformed its Army Special Forces Regiment after 1989 for
use in international interventions. How this was done, along with where
the Dutch commandos were deployed, is described in detailed
reconstructions."
