4.0 out of 5 stars Army Pocket Guide, 13 Sep 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: The British Army 2006-2007: A Pocket Guide (Paperback)

I am applying to join the army and wanted a book to give me alot of the information that I will be expected to know at interview, including a general background, details of current deployments and the different sections/corps of the army.

This book has 14 chapters, one on an overview of the army, one on army organisations, one on international commitments, (including Iraq,) 8 chapters on the different sections (Infantry, Communications etc.)There is a chapter on recruitment and selection, another on the reserve forces and a final miscellaneous chapter - this includes details of pay/rank, and a list of abbreviations used, eg: fmm - formation etc.

All in all, this is a good book to give you a round up of the army, but not specifics on things. It is a small book, so to fit everything in the font is quite small, (probably about pt 8.)There are not many diagrams, just a small b & w picture for each type of tank and aircraft (but not very good quality.)

For the price and size of this, I would say that overall it is a good book.
