The Tactical Advantage: A Definitive Study Of Personal Small-Arms Tactics

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

First of all I must thank a special group of gentlemen and warrior-scholars with varied backgrounds who contributed to the completion of this book in many ways. Specifically by name, "The Master's Master" Chuck Taylor, Don Busse, Marc Fleischmann, Dale Fricke, Greg Nordyke, Bruce Parkin, Naish Piazza, and Dave "Top" Teague. A special thanks to Chuck for his technical, tactical, and philosophical advice, as well as for the photographic assistance.

Of course, special thanks must go also to my wife and best friend-the tactical photographer, pistolera, and proofreader extraordinaire-for her immense help and patience in all aspects of this text.

Special mention to my good friends Dean Gamburd and Jeff Mayberry for their help with the photographs.

Finally, to my brothers-in-arms-those operators whom I've stood beside, sweated and bled with, gone through the door with, and seen the elephant with. You know who you are, and you will never be forgotten.
