Publisher's Synopsis
From the jungles of Central America to the muddy hills of Korea, highly-trained, covert guerrilla unit has played a major part in US military operations over the last half century. Capable of outwitting and outmaneuvering the fearsome battalions and high-tech weaponry of the world's most sophisticated militaries, a swift, well-oiled guerrilla team is the most ferocious and powerful military unit in existence. Uniquely capable of spreading fear behind enemy lines and undermining morale, the tactical precision and strategic edge of the guerrilla unit make it adept at exacting critical attacks on hostile forces.
Covering every aspect of guerrilla tactics, the US Army Guerrilla Warfare Handbook is the definitive resource on the operations and effects of guerrilla warfare, with sections on counterintelligence, raids, ambushes, sniping, mining, psychological warfare, and covert communication techniques. Additional chapters cover weapons and strategies used by US guerrilla warriors to undercut enemy positions. The official US Army guide to guerrilla warfare, this book offers the ultimate glimpse into the way the American military deploys guerrilla tactics with punishing success.
