Along with the Vietnam-era "Ranger Handbook" and "Special Forces Operational Techniques", the 1965 edition of the Special Forces Handbook was the bible of the Green Beret of the Vietnam War.
Packed with data on weapons, explosive calculations formulas, standard procedures for aerial resupply, communications, tactics, first aid, survival and guerrilla warfare, Special Text 31-180 was an effective aide de memoir for all Special Forces personnel in Vietnam, from advisors through to MACV-SOG and personnel from other SF projects including Project Delta (B52).
Presented in Special Operations Press' distinctive ERDL camouflage cover, denoting a Vietnam-era publication, this edition is an easy-to-read 6 x 9 inch perfect-bound paperback printed on first quality paper in the USA.
