In straightforward language and a no-frills style, it covers deception, stealth, communications, escape and evasion, ambush operations, perimeter defense, counterintelligence, and much more. Handy and concise, this manual was designed so Rangers could easily carry it into the field. Now it is the ultimate resource for anyone who wants to know how Rangers think and work.

Read This for Valuable Information,

This review is from: U.S. Army Ranger Handbook (Paperback)
I have read the reviews above and I have read this book, in many formats and many times, this book is a stellar reference when it comes to the principles of Patrolling, TLP, MDMP, various other things that not only Rangers but every Soldier should know.This is NOT the version that the army issues. It is identical in every way except it is in a bigger version. The Army Version is in fact pocket sized, this is not. This is still a great desktop version/version for dudes that want to learn about military matters. One warning, this book is dry, and only exciting if you are familiar with military terms, and graphics. Like I said, this one is identicle to the Army issued one except for its size. This is definitely one of those books that is a must read for every Soldier, and anyone curious to learn about how Soldiers operate.

Disregard the previous reviewers!,
This review is from: U.S. Army Ranger Handbook (Paperback)
Not sure which book the previous reviewer is writing about, but this is the most up-to-date Ranger Handbook available, includes great art work and excellent information. I have looked at the version available from Pentagon Publishing for almost twice the price and the text is EXACTLY the same. Don't throw your money away.

Good softcover version of the Ranger Handbook,
By KG (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: U.S. Army Ranger Handbook (Paperback)
Just recently purchased this book and have gone through it a few times already. The print is kinda small and it is definitely not something you would want to take out on the field, but overall I consider it to be a great supplement to FM 7-8. This may be a harder book to read if you are not familiar with basic U.S. military terms.
