I was suprised with the usefulness of the book. I was expecting a glossed over concept and got a book which offered some very useful info on basic CQB concerns and how to apply those to a shipboard environment. Maybe not a good "starter" book, but a valuable addition for people with some idea of CQB and CT operations.

The book covers 2& 4 man clearing of cabines in a ship and also movement on deck which is really good. If you have some idea of CQB tactics you can follow stair clearing, intersection clearings, etc, becuase they don't show this or they show it but not step by step! Intersection clearing is just "use the one man clearence" they don't explain how to do it. To clear a corridor with doors on both sides they don't even explain i.e who covers what. Anyway it gives you some ideas how to clear in confined spaces but if you don't know CQB...well it could be hard to follow some things. Half the book contains pictures in B&W on different equipment. Some of these are quite interesting if you take your time to study them. The book is okay and if you are interested to learn different CQB-tactics you could get some ideas. Anyway 3-1/2 star it is.
I also recommend G.Suarez-Tactical Advantage and M.Lonsdale-RAIDS for additional information on CQB tactics.

Wow! This book is VERY informative and has INCREDIBLE pictures!! Awesome book!

Amazing book, I use this all the time when entering my job, just in case a nasty ol' terrorist attempts to jump me, I'll be able to deal with him with a swift NAVY SEAL style beat down! Incredibly informative...
