I just finished the book on one sitting. Well written text on basics. Allthough author seems to have quite a bit of experience on SWATing I would have hoped for somewhat deeper look. Especially on rehersing a team and on a reallife planing. What kind of tacticts have proven to work etc.

Book covers all the basics on planning and considering of a operation, but teamleader should be past all that basic information when starting to operate. Part dealing with the Chain of comand and operational aspects on command post was enlightening. Overall quite nice little book and well written. Somewhat deeper look on to the reallife tactics through examples would be appreciated.

I read the book cover to cover and didn't find too much that I didn't know already. The book did cover alot of basics that someone new to a SWAT environment would benefit from. It is a good "refresher" book for the SWAT leader.

Very well written. The author is obviously experienced in this field. The content is basic and more areas could have been covered. The areas dealt with in this book is well presented and will be of great use to any SWAT leader or instructor. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next by the same author.

This book is not applicable to American tactical law enforcement. It seems most of the book was copied straight out of U.S. Army field manuals. an utter waste of time and money.

The book is good written. It cover the basic and littlebit more on leadership. A quite detailed on how to write a "warning order" which I had never seen before. It also cover movement outside but not on how to move indoors. Anyway all this should be known to an new Team leader and like someone elses wrote it is littlebit to basic. If you have never learn any leadership at all -read it. If you are interested in planning there is better books.
3 Stars just becuase it is good written otherwise it should be a 2 star.
An other book on planning is M.Lonsdale-RAIDS

The author covered the basics very well, but it is very basic to have the word "Leadership" in the title. This book would be good for a new operator, but anyone with tactical experience should be looking for another book. Experienced tactical operators will find this book decent for review, but not much else.
