I've read many books about MAC-V SOG and this one was at the bottom of the heap. The topics jumped around and possessed zero rhythm or flow. It seemed like a compilation of short tidbits and factoids comprised of the most basic subject matter. If felt like reading a book written by a robot. Beep bop, powering down.
