Drawing from dozens of the U.S. Army’s official field
manuals, editor Jay McCullough has culled a thousand pages of the most
useful and curious tidbits for the would-be soldier, historian,
movie-maker, writer, or survivalist—including techniques on first aid;
survival in the hottest or coldest of climates; finding or building
life-saving shelters; surviving nuclear, biological, and chemical
attacks; physical and mental fitness, and how to find food and water
anywhere, anytime. With hundreds of photographs and illustrations
showing everything from edible plants to rare skin diseases of the
jungle, every page reveals how useful Army knowledge can be.
