Special Forces Handbook

Summary: Good info., just severely limited
Review: The manual contains some very good information that is otherwise obscure from the public's view. The main problems are that this information is very limited in the entire substance of the manual which is filled with complicated engineering and demolitions instructions, charts, and diagrams. This information is not pertinent unless someone has the facility and resources to test it out. Likewise, I may not have much familiarity with demolitions, construction, or anything of that nature, but I think that this is more complicated material that only people with expertise would be able to perform. The Rangers Handbook is a much better buy for anyone in terms of overall information, unless that is they are really familiar with, and looking into demolitions and military engineering.

Summary: Definitely CUT and DRY with NO INFORMATION in it
Review: SAVE YOUR MONEY guys this book is definitely CUT and DRY to the bone... with very little information in it...and the very little information that is contained is PREHISTORIC stuff. USELESS, practically nothing on guerilla warfare..The information in the book that is contained is TOO OUT OF DATE...PRE VIETNAM and POST 2WW...The information is not even good enough for the infantry to use there is so little in it...if you don't belive me then buy it...

Summary: Definitely CUT and DRY with NO INFORMATION in it
Review: This book is everything that the review says it is. The best thing about military handbooks it that they get right to the nitty gritty without all the fluff and bull that are in other books; they simply give the information in the most straight forward and easy way to understand. This handbook has a lot of illustrations and graphs. Some highlights are the ground-air emergancy code chart and the weapons, survival, and first aid manuals. Plus there are some stuff in here that not all people should have knowledge of, such as demolitions. Just so you know, since it's not mentioned elsewhere, this handbook comes small and pocket size.
