The subject of this illustrated study by Bryan Perrett is warfare in a world where little light penetrates. A world of dense vegetation, tangled roots, fetid mud and swamps. Where the helicopter, sophisticated weaponry and technology may well have revolutionised military combat, but where survival still depends on acute observation with all the senses – namely, the jungle, backdrop to one of the most gruelling of all forms of warfare. The text is supported by 21 maps, numerous monochrome illustrations, a bibliography and an index. Originally published in 1990, this book is now available once again in 2015 demonstrating a determination on the publisher’s part to keep this book in print.
