As one reviewer indicated the printer of Swift, Silent, and Deadly made a major error. I purchased a copy and after the Introduction, Foreword, Acknowledgements, and part of Chapter 1-I discovered all of these were repeated and a chunk of pages was completely missing. I would recommend doing the following to get a complete copy with no sections missing. Check with the Seller before buying a copy of this book and ask the Seller to verify that all of the pages are there and there are no missing sections. This is what
I had to do.

I pre-ordered this book as its topic was of great interest to me professionally. Sadly I had to return it due to a major error by the printer in which pages 11-42 were missing. Even with the missing material this is a very short book at only 138 pages (without the end matter and notes) in a small format of 8" x 5". My negative review is not a reflection on the author and the quality of his research and writing, but instead on the printer who made such a glaring error that went to market unnoticed. I still look forward to reading this book, but will want to lay my hands on a copy to make sure its complete before buying it.

Thats who i want to lead when i join the Corps. T o the guy who got a bad book, im sorry for you. The copy i checked out at the library was alright, but i just got it yesterday, and i am enjoying it so far, so who cares.
