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

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.
