1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated and in some places laughable...., April 12, 1999

By A Customer

That makes for a bad book on a serious subject. The unarmed combat section is disturbingly funny. The hand signals section looks like it was reprinted from a WW I manual. There are excellent manuals written by serious professionals for those who are serious about this subject. Unfortunately this is not one of them.

1.0 out of 5 stars Battle tactics: Not in this book, January 3, 2007

By	Jason Blane (Ca) - See all my reviews

This book is horrible at best. If you follow this book you will end up injured or dead. Do not expect to find tactics or something remotely similar. The few "Tactics" they do suggest are not even remotely explained enough for a basic reader to understand. If you were in the military you will recognize what the writer was getting at, but fails to explain the concepts. I want my money back, but I wouldn't sell it to do so. I'll just burn my copy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Battle Tactics, March 14, 2006

By	Major_Critic "SAS_Random" (Milford, MA United States) - See all my reviews

Tactics not really explored. The title is a real teaser because you believe you might learn something by reading it. If you have played a shooter video game you will learn more about tactics than from this book. Waste of time and money.
