Great Book - Basic and thorough,
By
This review is from: Guide to the Development of Special Weapons and Tactics Teams (Hardcover)
Probably the first book of its kind, it is a basic, albeit thorough, discussion on the development of SWAT teams. It provides an historical perspective with the reasons for why SWAT teams became necessary and how they have evolved through the years. Its fundamental approach assumes nothing and even the most novice could understand and apply the principles and techniques, up to and including selection procedures and training requirements. All in all, a must for agencies employing SWAT teams and/or similar tactical units.
