This is not a book about eating bugs and mushrooms. There are plenty of those books around if you want to become a boy scout. If you are, or want to be, a soldier---particularly a Special Forces soldier - then this is the book you need. It is about survival in rough conditions-when you have been taken hostage or prisoner of war; when you have crawled out of a downed helicopter behind enemy lines and the enemy are coming for you; or when your mates have been kilted in a fire-fight in bandit country.
