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.

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.

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.

I bought this book hoping to learn as much as I could about military tactics and operations. I was very satisfied by the ranger handbook. It covers a lot of topics in great detail. Just a word of caution: this book is obviously meant for the military and is very dry. Not that it's a problem, but don't expect this handbook to be an easy read. It assumes that you have some existing knowledge of military terms and procedures. Overall it was an excellent book.

I ordered this product to help me brush up on my Army knowledge after I was called back to active duty. It is comprable to the Ranger handbooks that you get on an Army post, except this book is significantly larger and seems to be an older version than what I was used to carrying. Not a bad thing to purchase, but much too large to carry in your cargo pocket.

Sorry man, your wrong this is not the the Army Ranger Handbook. I just received the latest Army Ranger Manual from the cadre at 4th RTB, Fort Benning. The manual I received from this seller is NOT the latest version / not any version the army would give to a Ranger.

Just look at the copyright page people...this is a rehash of the 2000 edition (pre 9-11) along with "other tactics taught."

Basically a page for page print of what was in my Ranger handbook back in the days. Very valuable info for anyone

This was the exact book by boyfriend wanted. He was thrilled when it came in the mail. Very informative and interesting book. He is convinced its going to save our lives...

This book was not put together by the Rangers that for sure. Also a ture military manaul does not have to make the cover look like an advertisement.

There is a reason why this book is so cheap.
