Synopsis

Few people are better able to describe how to survive in a war zone than those who have seen, experienced, and lived it firsthand. Presenting accounts written by military and police officers, this book offers an inside look at the lives of the officers and the local people living in the war zone environment. Covering many facets of daily life, the book examines topics such as surviving extreme temperatures and staying healthy, interacting with the indigenous population and cultural awareness, adjusting to the challenges of limited technology and resources, and protecting oneself from the imminent threat of violence that is present in all war-torn regions.
