I purchased this book in Australia where it's titled, "The SAS and Elite Forces Manual of...".
I was extrememly impressed with the topic coverage and the depth that the author went into. Mr. Stillwell touches all the bases here... detailed pysical and mental preparation, several exercise regimines, nutrition fundamentals, basics on hand-to-hand combat and ending with a nice intro to "advanced techniques".
Mostly, I was impressed with the section on mental preparation, as this is a crucial area that similar books tend to gloss over, or exclude altogeher.
In this book we have interesting and detailed writing on things like goals, positive attitude and thinking, controlling emotions, meditation, self-esteem, and confidence.
The section on physical preparation is also excellent. Containing sample workout schedules, easy-to-understand illustrations, and just plain good information on exercise.
I'd recommend this book to anyone who is endeavoring to join the military or take on any daunting challenge. Or to anybody who is just interested in improving themselves mind, body and spirit.
May the Force be with you.

This book does excellent job of covering overall the subject comprehensively, with good illustrations and does not bog down into detail, or focus to the point of excessive respectivity. Is seems to me a good phy. ed. starter for any age experienced with reading.
