Killer Elite: Completely Revised and Updated: The Inside Story of America’s Most Secret Special Operations Team, by Michael Smith
Killer Elite tells the story, to the extent that security will allow it be told, of a highly secret military intelligence unit set up in the aftermath of the disaster at Desert One. Originally called the “Intelligence Support Activity”, this organization has undergone various name changes, but is usually just referred to as “the Activity”, though sometimes called the “Secret Army of Northern Virginia” in reference to the location of its headquarters. The Activity was set up to gather intelligence needed to help plan and conduct special operations, so unlike the CIA, which basically serves the President, the Activity’s chief “customer” is the military, especially the special operations forces.
