Im not going to teach you how to survive in snowy mountains with only a tea bag; this book will teach you how to fight & survive war in the 21st century.--Robert Stirling, from the Introduction In the tradition of John Lofty Wisemans "SAS Survival Handbook" comes a new combat handbook from a seasoned speical forces soldier. Whereas Wiseman initiated hundreds of thousands of readers to the survival techniques developed by the SAS in far-flung covert ops in Burma, the Middle East, Africa, & elsewhere, Stirlings focus is on fighting techniques for the contemporary soldier. Stirling, a combat veteran of Northern Irel&, the Bush Wars in Africa, & Afghanistan, provides a fully-illustrated training-manual for combat readiness. This is the stuff they dont teach you in boot camp, but they damn well should. Stirling writes in a aggressive style that will appeal to the warrior in every reader. He also serves up first-hand anecdotes & advice drawn from operations that went well--and those that went wrong. Table of Contents: Why Do You Need This Book
