This book was written in systematic way of approach to tracking. It is very well written with bottom line up front facts and findings. It is written from a soldier's view with documentary skills in observations and comparison on what differentiates the tracks and trails beyond human walks of life. His appreciation for military draws others to follow and see it from a different perspective. It is compact and in a hard cover format which can be nicely shelved after reading.
Awesome! I highly recommend this book. May 15, 2007

I originally purchased this book as an add-on with an animal tracking book. My background is animal tracking with an interest in Search and Rescue (SAR). I thought this would help me with possible SAR missions in the forests that I frequent. To be quite honest, I didn't think I would ever really read this entire book because my schedule is tight and finding time to read -any- book is a challenge.
On a business trip I decided to take it along for killing time on the two hour flight. I began reading it and got half way through on the first half of the round trip. I found myself unable to put the book down. The meat and potatoes of this book are the fundamentals of tracking humans with practical application. Where I became addicted was the millitary account of an actual tracking scenario. This account is told alongside your learning of the basics.
If you are remotely interested in tracking people I highly recommend this book for you. It will definitely teach you fundamentals of tracking and tell you how to apply what you are learning. Make sure when you do begin to read the book that you have a few hours of time set aside because you will not be able to put it down.
Military personnel, this book is probably mandatory reading. The military aspect opend my eyes up to things I had no idea. I am not a military person but I now have a newfound respect for those serving in any service area.

this is a simple book showing what any militaristic tracking might show. could find this info in any of a dozen better sources. the only thing unique was the parts on human waste and body decomposition. not written very well.
A Must Read for Human Trackers August 11, 2006

Anyone that has been a tracker in the Military or in Law Enforcement already has my utmost respect. I have taken tracking training from both Joel Hardin and David Scott-Donelan and would love to spend some "Dirt Time" with David Diaz. I thoroughly enjoyed his book and I highly recommend it for any type of tracking both civilian and/or military. This is the How-to for human tracking.
The author has a good mix of real life stories and information and concepts. Bottom-line this book helped me as a tracker. Enough said.
An excellent book heavily focused on military tracking October 25, 2005

This book is primarily focused on the needs the military tracker, and that is the author's background. It does, indeed, attempt to present a systematic approach to the subject and largely succeeds. Although I am primarily interested in civilian search and rescue tracking, I found a lot to learn and consider in this book. An excellent complement to this book is "The SAS Guide to Tracking" by Bob Carss. Tom Brown's "The Science and Art of Tracking" also deserves a place on the tracker's bookshelf as well as Jack Kearney's "Tracking: A Blueprint for Learning How" and Tom Brown's "Field Guide to Nature Observation and Tracking."
