We Need Your Help for Jaeger: At War with Denmark’s Elite Special Forces

Hey Team Room members, apologies for taking so long to get Jaeger: At War with Denmark’s Elite Special Forces up on here for you guys.  We promise that all SOFREP ebooks will be made available to our Team Room members, no double charging you guys for additional material we put out.  So on that note, I’m sorry that it wasn’t available sooner.

I really hope you guys enjoy the book.  It was a first for SOFREP!  We partnered with the author, Thomas Rathsack, who is a former member of Denmark’s Jaeger Corps.  From there I had to find a translator, go through extensive revisions and touch ups with the author, have the book formatted properly, have our artists make a new cover, and get it uploaded to Amazon.  It was a long process, but definitely worth it.

As Americans, it is way too easy to forget about our close friends and allies, especially when they come from a small country like Denmark.  A lot of people don’t realize this, but per capita Denmark has lost more soldiers in Afghanistan than any other NATO ally.  As unfortunate a statistic as that is, it shows the determination of the Danish soldiers and their government who have not backed down.

Rathsack’s book will take you deep inside this very small and unique Special Operations unit, detailing low-visibility recce missions and a whole lot more.  It isn’t like some of the other books out there, Rathsack doesn’t ham it up or tell a bunch of lies for the sake of a hollywood finale.  It is real and it is honest, and it details some of the most hair raising and unknown operations in the war on terror.

One thing I would ask from Team Room members, if you read the book and enjoy it, please drop a review on Amazon.  It would mean a lot to me and the author.  It also helps spread the word about this small elite unit and lets American citizens know that the Danish military has our back when we really need them.

Thanks again, and happy reading!
