Summary: Good Reference Manual
Comment: I thought this book was very informative. I also have The Elite Forces Handbook of Unarmedcombat, and I think they are both very good field manuals for soldiers.
The tactics in this book may be a bit dated - but let us not forget that tactics change with counter-tactics so the latest stuff will not get published for another 10 years simply because it is classified.
However, this material is still highly educational and I would recommend it.

Summary: Another special forces manual?
Comment: In a way, yes it is, but it is written as if the reader is actually training to be in an elite forces unit and is being briefed. I like this method of writing as it makes the text more of an adventure rather than an enciclopedia. There is a huge amount of information in this book, just about everything you would want to know from basic martial arts, self defence, tracking, sniping, automatic weapons, ambushes booby traps etc. The text is fairly self explanatory most of the time but is is jazzed up with pictures and diagrams. Admittidly the pictures are black and white, but you cant have everything. When it says 'Skills Of the World' it means the entrie world. There are references in here to not only SAS, SBS, SEALs, SWATs, and Spetnaz, there is also references to french elite regiments, Israili, Vietnamise, German and Brazilian too. What I like about this book is the way in which every little tecnique is described then illustrated with pictures finally descibed in action, for example there is reference to heavy machine guns used in Viatnam and knife throwing used in Afganistan by spetnaz. I cant give this book 5 stars because it dosen't bring much innovation to the writing of these sorts of manuals. It is the same tried and tested formula over again but it is good.

Summary: high color cover/low color information
Comment: nice looking cover, but very low in any type of information. many drawings that are not related to the title. just the very basic information at best. i would not recommend
