Intended as a handbook for U.S. forces from the sharp-end backwards and upwards, this book sets Islamic insurgents and terrorists in their historical and religious context. It explains the tactics they use and how these can be countered, noting that there are limitations to what high tech weaponry can achieve in guerrilla warfare, for example stand-off weapons linked to wrong intelligence can have disastrous consequences.
