The first elite special operations force originated during WWII with the Italian Navy – the Decima MAS unit – the first modern naval commando squad. It was assembled and commanded by the author, Prince Junio Valerio Borghese. These frogmen were trained to fight undercover and underwater with small submarines and assault boats armed with a variety of destructive torpedoes; their tactics have become a standard for special forces around the world today.
