Plans for both backpack and vehicle-mounted flamethrowers are included. Give yourself the edge you need over most urban-combat weapons."

This gut-wrenching book is based on Ragnar Benson’s own mantrapping experiences while on special assignments in Asia, Africa, North and South America and Cuba. “You have to see this one to believe it! Illustrated with detailed line drawings. Covers such mantraps as the Malaysian Hawk, the Andes Mountain Trail, the Sheepeater’s Rock Fall, and the Cuban Water Trap. As Benson says: ‘To know how to trap your enemy is to know how to avoid being trapped yourself!’ Each trap is constructed with primitive materials and tools. Includes a special chapter on the philosophy of mantrapping.”
