World-renowned expert in the fields of counter-terrorism, hostage
rescue and VIP protection, Leroy Thompson has produced a
comprehensive guide to counter-insurgency. His experiences both in
the field and in training showcase the latest methods and
technologies available and this fully illustrated book reveals many
of the secrets of his trade. Counter-insurgency is fast becoming
one of the most important aspects of police and military work
around the world, with forces often deployed at short notice to
fight against an ill-defined enemy. With this in mind, Leroy
Thompson describes the techniques best employed in a variety of
situations, all illustrated with pictures and explained with
examples of their use. He stresses that the primary concern in
every situation ought to be a 'Hearts and Minds' style operation
comprising an attempt to achieve objectives without the use of
force - it is only after all such possibilities have failed that
the use of force should be considered, and then only by highly
trained special forces operatives. The very political nature of
counter-insurgency operations means that operatives are often
working under extremely tense and delicate circumstances.The
operations are often violent and short-lived, but Thompson
emphasises that they must be part of a wider political, social or
economic goal for success to be achieved. This well-informed and
accessible account will have significance for anyone with an
interest in world security and special operations.
