X-Ray is on all my history and biography eBooks from Amazon and those are the only eBooks I read. I sometimes forget what the acronyms mean like SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape) plus the life stories of important figures in those historical settings. X-Ray discloses it every time and usually its from Wikipedia articles.
Thus, the author may NOT have introduced them. It could be Amazon just linking to Wikipedia and other widely available sources (DOD, Sratfor etc.) after the author submitted the book to Amazon for publication. Maybe the authors mark the key words and Amazon Publishing just provides the links.
