Summary: Equipment catalogue
Comment: When you buy a book with a title like this, you would expect to find vast amount of tactics and techniques on operating in low-light environment, but this is not the case with this book. In reality there is some thirty pages about night ops, and the majority (over 150 pages) of the book is filled with descriptions of various manufacturer's flashlights, laser sights, night vision equipment and so on. That's fine if you are buying a new thermal imaging system, but otherwise the majority of the book is of questionable value. The fact is emphasized with the fact that this product info becomes obsolete when time goes by, and this same info is available via internet. There is some good information however. For example, there is a good list of desirable features a tactical flashlight should have.

There is also some general infomation about different low-light systems (not related to a specific product). But there is also some stuff that doesn't belong to a book dedecated to night operations: There is several pages on binoculars and conventional rifle scopes, for example. All of the information can be useful to a reader, but you get the impression that the author has poured all of his knowledge into this book, no matter if it fits under the headline or not. There is even some stuff on bomb disposal!

The editing of the book leaves something to be desired, also. It is somewhat hard to find specific information within the book, as the product info is not properly separated from the more general discussion of the current subject. The general information is easily lost among the product-specific info.

This book is not entirely bad, but if you are looking information about low-light tactics, you are better advised to buy a good, more general book on armed defense, which has a chapter or two on low-light operations.
