Midwest Book Review

An up to date and comprehensive book... It raises interesting questions about whether CT teams should be police or military based, covers recruitment and selection with a vigour bordering on propaganda and is a gun enthusiast's dream in its long but well organised section on weapons and equipment.
The book remains interesting throughout and is very well organized and has real strengths in the final chapters when the author brings together all the information presented in previous chapters together nicely in the missions and tactics section showing how organization, equipment, training and selection combine in practice.
