- Full title :Super-Squad : the now missing component / H. John Poole ; foreword by Gen. Anthony C. Zinni USMC (Ret.).
Summary
"Full extent of U.S. tactical ineptitude and the amazing opportunity it provides. With the small-unit stratagems in this book, U.S. commanders can now perform the state of the art for any 3GW maneuver. It derives from the combined research of the world's other major armies. Advanced squad tactics are involved, so America's junior enlisted and NCOs will also be interested. More U.S. wars can now be won and lives saved."--Amazon.com
