“The World’s First SWAT Team” by Leroy Thompson is a fascinating story. Well illustrated throughout, this scarce book describes the formation of the Shanghai Municipal Police Reserve Unit as an anti-riot squad formed in response to the Shanghai Incident of May 1925. It subsequently evolved and adapted to include counter-terrorism operations, hostage rescue, and drug raids, etc.
