Book Reviews of The Ultimate Guide to U.S. Army Survival Skills, Tactics, and Techniques

Book Review: Very well edited content, all from Military FM's
Summary: 5 Stars

This manual is well put together and very informative, however there is no original content. The whole of the books informational pages, from start to finish, is lifted directly from public domain Military Manuals, many of which are available freely online or purchased very cheaply from various companies that put the files on CD. This is not to say it's not a good resource. In fact, as long as you know what your getting, it's really nice to have the edited information in one spot.

It's not a typical survival manual, rather more of a soldiering or militia type resource. There is information on everything from outdoor survival, advanced first aid, hand to hand, improvised weapons, to building a fighting position complete with a grenade sump. It's a good addition to any free man's library, however there are some pages that were clearly included to bulk up the book. It's not a book you read for entertainment, more like a school subject textbook. I'd buy it again.

Summary of The Ultimate Guide to U.S. Army Survival Skills, Tactics, and Techniques

Here for the first time in one place is everything you will ever need to know in order to survive just about any difficult or dangerous situation.  Drawing from dozens of the U.S. Army?s official field manuals, editor Jay McCullough has culled a thousand pages of the most useful and curious tidbits for the would-be soldier, historian, movie-maker, writer, or survivalist?including techniques on first aid; survival in the hottest or coldest of climates; finding or building life-saving shelters; surviving nuclear, biological, and chemical attacks; physical and mental fitness, and how to find food and water anywhere, anytime. With hundreds of photographs and illustrations showing everything from edible plants to rare skin diseases of the jungle, every page reveals how useful Army knowledge can be.
