"Counter-Terrorism, Hostage Rescue and Behind-The-Lines Action" From the back cover: "There is a violent world just on the edge of war – the world of special operations. Small forces penetrate enemy lines to strike critical targets. Teams of experts turn civilians into organized guerilla armies. Black-masked raiders smash through the windows of an embassy to free hostages. [...] "GURPS Special Ops brings this world to roleplaying. All the violent action – and all the planning, organization and coordination necessary to bring off an operation successfully – are in your hands."
