Very Informative

This book is so full of info I'm going to have to read it again to make sure I get all of it!

Good Starting Point for Security Concious Individuals

This is an outsanding introduction for the security concious individual with a hankering to learn hand signals, containment procedures and team morale boosting when engaged in armed insurgency type operations. For too long the security concious have suffered from a dearth of suitable training materials relying on outmoded advice from cry-baby drop-outs from the police, military and security industries. Cascio and McSweeny offer sage advice by asking questions such as, when "sceching" a building site for through-the-window rope drops, have you supplied your SWAT team with suitable clothing? It may seem obvious to the more cynical reviwers on these pages that this is basic information, but I found their advice on knee-padding to be frankly invaluable, as attempting to break a hostage situation or terrorist type situation in say, a t shirt and shorts, is simply not suitable. I could go on and recommend this fine book and its detailed contents but I urge anyone who wants to equip a SWAT team - and we're talking *guns* here people, not harsh language - this is the best place to start.
