SAS and Elite Forces Guide Manhunt: The Art And Science Of Tracking High Value Enemy Targets

by Alexander Stilwell

From searching for high-value enemy targets such as Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein to finding soldiers caught behind enemy lines, from escaped prisoners and serial killers to a missing child, Manhunt explores just how the military and police forces track people down. Including many case studies of high-value targets, suspected criminals and fugitives from justice, and with extensive background on the different techniques in tracking used, from traditional Native American trackers’ skills to the latest high-tech methods, Manhunt brings together the history and science of tracking. Illustrated with 350 maps, photographs and drawings, The SAS and Elite Forces Guide to Tracking High Value Enemy Targets is an authoritative examination of tracking from footprints to forensics and a must for anyone interested in the latest military practices and survival skills. .

Well, well, well...

Let's be serious here, this book could've been 30 pages long if M. Stillwell hadn't repeated more than numerous times that a tracker must be extremely cautious not to give away his position, and had concentrated on important things as he did occasionally.

And the editing needs to be rethinked.

There's some survival notions tackled in here, but if I may, I strongly recommend reading "SAS Survival Handbook" by John Wiseman. That's a great way of taking your survival skillset to a whole new level.
