Written by an expert in the field, this short (89 pages of text) provides clear and concise lessons learned from actual incidents, both civilian and military. Of particular value are the insights drawn by one of the world’s experts in small unit operations and suggestions, both expressed and implied, in how best to exploit them. The gist of the monograph are the similarities between U.S. Special Forces operations and those of law enforcement SWAT teams. It places a strong emphasis on the need to cooperate, if not collaborate, on preparing for terrorist incidents and other “low-probability, high-consequence” events.
