 Tactical Tracking Operations August 22, 2006
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I had read Scott-Donelan's book seven years ago and had went through his tracking class with a friend from my police department back in 1999. So I got to be trained and met David and two of his instructors. I absolutely loved Scott-Donelan's booked and recommend it to anyone going to do tactical tracking. It was well put together with good stories of Scott-Donelan's time in combat in Rhodesia. I have read several other tracking books and this is probably the best in tactical tracking. I am a member of the tracking team for the Washoe County Search and Rescue team in Nevada and had to purchase this book because I had lent my other book out and never got it back. Great book as far as I'm concerned.

Scott-Donelan writes a good book on tracking. He points out at the beginning that other books (such as Jack Kearney's) are a fine supplement and details HOW and WHY his book is written. The chapters are concise, accurate when it comes to the subject matter and VERY instructive. The one detractor in these Reviews indicates a collection of 'self-congratulating' ware stories. Didn't see it, read it, find it. There are discussions of requirements, techniques, cautions and equipment. Methodology, outlook or attitude and results are discussed. Good book. Won't replace actual training but that is stated at the beginning. Worth the read.

I found this book to be very helpful. We use this as a text book for advanced tracking in our Search and Rescue team.
I have enjoyed the opportunity to take several classes with the author of this book. I suggest that this is a must read book for any tracking operation. I find myself reviewing this book frequently.

David Scott-Donelan is a dear friend of mine. I am a member of Vietnam Veterans of America and Veterans of Foreign Wars. David spent approximately 30 years as a combat tracker, trainer, and officer in charge of training the most elite fighting force the world has ever known. His book is a Bible for Military Personnel who will need Tracking Skills, Law Enforcement people, and Corrections Department People who will have to track and apprehend DANGEROUS armed fugitives. It is not for the meek of heart to read this book. To do what Capt David Scott-Donelan did in Southern Africa for 30 years requires skills that few men in the history of mankind ever possessed. Yet a more gentle and friendly a person you will never find anywhere. If you want to know about serious combat tracking, read the book, and try to get your department to send you to his Tracking School. It will be money worth spent. It will save your life by using the most aggressive tracking methodsever developed in history by the man who wrote the history!
 Surprisingly little tracking information for a tracking book June 15, 2001

I bought this after a Search and Rescue mission, hoping to get an insight on tracking subjects that may be avoiding the search teams.The author spends over half the already short text on either self-congratulatory war stories or "my favorite gun" weapon reviews. The latter in fact are so totally subjective as to be essentially useless. (As a side note, it was the only time in my life I've EVER heard the Mini-14 referred to as having "excellent accuracy") This book is a definite pass. After a quick skim, I sent it straight back to Amazon to get Jack Kearney's "Tracking, a blueprint for learning how."
