The Gurkhas have a long and distinguished service record. This book examines the uniforms, equipment, history and organisation of the Gurkha rifles. It traces the 19th origins of the now famous Gurkha regiments and also covers their service history during the Great Mutiny and the 3rd Afghan War. During the two World Wars the Gurhah rifles performed countless tours of duty and their regimental battle honours listed in the book bear testimony to their extensive service. A series of full colour illustrations accompany the text.

In the course of the author's tour of duty in the Navy Department, he was called on frequently to prepare answers to letters requesting information about the Navy. These letters came from all parts and all classes. The widespread interest indicated in this manner, coupled with the absence of a book of general information regarding the Navy designed for general reading, induced him to undertake the preparation of this book. It is intended primarily for the information of persons having some interest in naval affairs but it is not technical. Only subjects of possible general interest have been discussed, and those only so far as they seemed to supply interest. There is at all times a demand on the press for news of the Navy's doings. The author frequently has had the privilege of furnishing information and data to newspapermen for use in their paragraphs and has in this way also felt the need for a simple manual or handbook on the Navy. Another inducement for the preparation of the book was the fact that the Navy's enlisted men are drawn almost entirely from inland states; many of them previous to their enlistment never saw the ocean. The friends and relatives of these men have had no ready means of satisfying a natural desire to be informed as to the Navy. Henry Williams, October, 1911.

For half a century, Navy SEAL snipers have earned a reputation as the planet's deadliest warriors: inserting silently into hostile territory, dispatching entire squadrons of enemy soldiers, and extracting without detection. The Navy SEAL Sniper Manual is the bible these elite marksmen study and master long before taking on their first confidential mission. Upon earning their Trident, new SEALs head off to a final grueling training program to become lethal scout snipers. This detailed guide leads them through the intense training and covers everything from crafting effective camouflage, taking a hidden position, and estimating distance to planning a mission, hitting a moving target, and taking down an aircraft. The official step-by-step manual issued to America's most elite sniper unit, this guide is loaded with dozens of illustrations, range charts, and graphs. Whether they are targeting pirates on rolling seas or zeroing in on terrorist strongholds in the mountains of Afghanistan, America's combat commanders trust SEAL sniper teams to get the job done. With clear, step-by-step instructions and helpful illustrations and charts, the sniper manual shows the amateur marksman how to hone his shooting skills the way elite warriors have done for decades.

Just as this book was about to go to press an Admiralty Order was issued forbidding the publication of any text or illustrations likely to prove of service to the enemy. Proofs of The British Navy Book were submitted to the Admiralty, with the result that the book has been approved. Acting in accordance with in¬structions from the Lords Commissioners, we have substituted other illustrations for those more recent ships previously chosen to represent the Great War by sea.
