This highly-illustrated guide covers the full experience of special operations training from every possible angle. First-hand expert Mullin dissects the key components of special ops training and the variables which come into play when perfecting technique - from reducing ammo loading times to identifying weaknesses in an enemy's kit. His analysis, infused with personal anecdotes, takes in the full spectrum of military operations, including maritime missions, and the rural vs. urban battlefield. There is also considerable information on non-firearm usage, such as specialised armour and ammunition. Written in Mullin's unique style, the narrative sees legal and political viewpoints meet head-on with personal experience and anecdote. The text is heavily illustrated with nearly two hundred images of weapons and training, and promises to be an enlightening and valuable guide to the evolution of Special Forces throughout the last century, and into this one.
