Perfect Gift

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...

Read This for Valuable Information

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.

Amazing Resource

The U.S Department of Defense has put out the handbook for U.S. Army Rangers, and this is the book to get on the subject. You can find out information Troop Leading Procedures, Waterborne Operations, Combat Patrols, pretty much anything you would ever want to know about army procedures, is in this book.

Must have!

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.

Disregard the previous reviewers!

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.
