Almost a 5 star
I have never been in the military nor do i know much about the SAS but compared to other survival/military books i have this book seems to be on the mark. There is a wealth of info but the reason i gave it a 4 out of 5 in there were not enough pictures to help describe the text. the one part i was hoping to have a little more meat in it was the field...

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good info for an overview; needs editing
Overall, this book is interesting and useful. However, it is by no means a training manual. It is more an overview or syllabus for further study of basic small unit tactics and survival techniques.

I have never been in the military nor do i know much about the SAS but compared to other survival/military books i have this book seems to be on the mark.
There is a wealth of info but the reason i gave it a 4 out of 5 in there were not enough pictures to help describe the text. the one part i was hoping to have a little more meat in it was the field operations of the area. I was hoping for a comprehesive demostration of how to deploy troops in the field and deploy ambushes and such but it does a fair job. The survival portion and personal skill chapters are well done and i enjoyed them very much. For a survial/military buff in the family i think you won't go wrong with this choice.

The text itself is in need of additional editing. The frequent misspellings, grammar problems, omitted words, and other textual errors are distracting. It could use an additional editing pass. |
