具体描述

First used extensively in World War II, the paratrooper is now an established part of military operations, and gives any airborne force a tactical edge. Inserted by air, the paratroopers can go to areas not accessible from the ground, forcing an army to spread it's defenses to protect areas normally safe from attack. This book describes what it takes to become a paratrooper - the rigorous physical training, the necessary mental skills, the ability to go anywhere and operate in any conditions, with a wide variety of skills and equipment, from straightforward combat to reconnaissance, all accompanied by dramatic color photographs.
