Reviews

[Steven Medina · Rating 5 out of 5]

I found out about this book while in boot camp. If you weren’t reading it, you would be doing push ups! This is the book (which I believe has been updated since my separation from the military) that contains the necessary information that every infantryman should strive know and be. This book has helped won wars and conflicts the U.S military has been involved in. There are also some good survival tips in this book if you are a survival enthusiast.

Not good

Not the best attempt at copying a book. Could have been worse but not enjoyable to use. Find a physical copy.
