PHANTOM SOLDIER: THE ENEMY'S ANSWER TO U.S. FIREPOWER BY H. JOHN POOLE PDF
This book won't please those who have come to believe that wars are won and casualties limited through technology, or that the victor's version of one is always correct. But, all U.S. security personnel should read it. Possibly the West's best treatise on Oriental warfare, it sheds new light on what Asian infantry can do: (1) alternate between guerrilla, mobile, and positional warfare; (2) use "ordinary forces" to engage and "extraordinary forces [infiltrators]" to defeat; and then (3) retreat to save lives. What occurred in history doesn't change, but one's perception of it does--as he comes to better understand his former foe. Here's what really happened at Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Chosin Reservoir, and Hue City. Those who believe this book's coverart to be fantasy have only to google the term "dac cong." Through how the NVA held their own without resupply, tanks, artillery, or air power, U.S. grunts could better survive the more lethal enemy weaponry of the 21st Century. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

Most helpful customer reviews 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great Wisdom Simplified By Amazon Customer A sure test of talent and knowledge is the challenge of taking a very complex subject, explaining it in understandable terms and then offering solutions along with the understanding. My very brief stint in the Army ended long before Vietnam called the younger brothers of my generation. From the news reports it appeared that we suffered so many casualties only because the enemy was "sneaky" and prepared to die. How could the US lose to people who could not afford shoes? Poole does a great job of bridging the gap from Sun Tzu to the muddy jungles of Vietnam and the significance of the lessons to our maneuver warfare. It is no accident that Boyd associate Willian Lind wrote the preface. Poole finished the book just before 9/11. Our experience in Iraq and the Israeli experience during the past year show that we have much to learn. After 50 plus years of victories over various armies, the Israelis lost to what most consider a rag-tag army. Other than their heritage, they are as unlikely to defeat the Israelis as the sandal clod Vietnamese. Poole's book is a gift to the small unit soldier and perhaps a greater gift to those in higher command who will order soldiers to assault targets with little understanding of what they may be facing. It may be at a distant command post or in the case of Somalia the commander flying overhead at 2,000 feet but unable to understand the river of lead flying down the street as he instructs troops to consolidate their positions. This is a great aid to understanding current events and history from the comfort of your easy chair while balancing a martini on the arm. However, my sense is that it is far more valuable as a gift to a young trooper. In addition it should be mandatory reading ( along with Sun Tzu and Boyd's briefing slides) for every reporter who covers wars and "low intensity" conflicts. Reading the book makes you appreciate Poole but feel uncomfortable with the contents. A great
contribution. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Outstanding Explanation of Effective Small Unit Tactis By Lodge2 Excellent book, but I am not sure the distinction is between Western and Oriental tactics. I suspect that American Indians, frontier scouts, the British SAS, U.S. Special Operations community, etc...would be very familiar with, and skilled at, these tactics. A classic dilemma that resurfaces every time we go to war. Militaries, at least in the West, prepare to fight the last war and not the next one. As a free society, the public tends to forget the hard lessons learned and shuns warriors during times of peace. The end result is that we constantly are reinventing the wheel after every war/generation. Victor Davis Hanson, in a recent editorial in the City Journal called Why Study War, gave a perfect example from the Post-Vietnam era; "The public perception in the Carter years was that America had lost a war that for moral and practical reasons it should never have fought--a catastrophe, for many in the universities, that it must never repeat. The necessary corrective wasn't to learn how such wars started, went forward, and were lost. Better to ignore anything that had to do with such odious business in the first place"...."A wartime public illiterate about the conflicts of the past can easily find itself paralyzed in the acrimony of the present. Without standards of historical comparison, it will prove ill equipped to make informed judgments." A well-written and important book that provides an in-depth analysis of small unit tactics. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Real military force reform from the grunt up By Stratiotes Doxha Theon One of Poole's greatest accomplishments has been to see through the warrior's eyes what is needed most in reform. It isn't another technologically stunning gizmo to add to their already heavy kit to slow them down more from what they do best. In the words of the late Col John Boyd "machines do not fight wars, people do, and they use their minds." Poole provides the low-tech but effective tools every soldier can use to gain the edge s/he needs. Through a survey of little known lessons from past conflicts with centuries-old warrior classes of the east, Poole demystifies their methods and guides us in their use. All the while Poole calls us to take the moral stand to win with as little destruction as possible. It sounds absurd to most modern military thinkers schooled in the inevitability of attrition warfare but he makes his points with historical evidence and clarrity. Poole is indeed a warrior's warrior. He is a career soldier who never lost the ethos of the foxhole and never lost the humanity that drives his passion. He lives the chivalry of the warrior who fights to protect the defenseless even at the price of personal glory. See all 41 customer reviews...
