Markel, Parameters 36.4 (Winter 2006-07), sees this as "a useful and practical reference for commanders, planners, and analysts.... At $300, I would not recommend it to the individual with a passing interest, but I would recommend its inclusion in operations and intelligence libraries at the division-level and above, and for the whole array of combat developers."
