The Counterterrorist Manual
In the past 35 years, counterterrorist units have been deployed to deal with everything from hijackings to hostage situations to prison riots. And following the September 11th attack on the World Trade Center, the mission of anti-terrorist units has expanded manifold.
Despite the growing role of these units, little is known about the way they operate. Leroy Thompson’s The Counterterrorist Manual details their selection, training, structure and principles; how they are armed and equipped; methods for conducting a variety of missions from hostage rescue to counter-WMD strikes; and even the theories behind asymmetric warfare.
The Counterterrorist Manual opens a window onto a fascinating clandestine world.
