Special Forces: The Ultimate Guide to Survival

If anything is put over your mouth, it is likely to be chloroform or a similar drug to put you out. You have until you need to breathe to do something about this . . . If someone grabs you from behind, slouch down, then head-butt with the back of your head and stamp on their instep. Turn and strike with your fist to the jaw, knife to the belly or draw and fire . . . This is not a book about eating bugs and mushrooms. There are plenty of those 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 to survive. Soldiers, undercover operatives, security services, and even those backpacking or exporting goods into some parts of the world could find themselves in serious trouble. Here, you will learn how to avoid being killed or captured when things go wrong; escape if you are caught; steal food; steal transportation; find your way home; and fight to kill in the dirtiest ways you can imagine.
