Product Overview
Military reference books offer a different perspective on Army history: they show the subjects soldiers study, from leadership responsibilities to movement in the field. The vintage Ranger Handbook in Rothco’s Manuals and Handbooks collection brings those subjects together in an illustrated, 444-page volume. It is an approachable addition to a military-interest bookshelf, with a compact format that also makes it convenient to carry.
Leadership alongside field subjects
The handbook covers Army operations, missions, movement, patrolling, battle drills, and mountaineering, as well as leadership and character. That range gives readers more than a single-topic reference. You can explore the relationship between leading people, understanding a mission, and the field activities covered in the text.
Illustrations throughout the book provide a visual companion to the written material. For readers interested in military terminology and methods, having both text and drawings offers another way to follow the subjects being discussed. The handbook’s vintage character also makes it appealing to those who enjoy learning about the U.S. Army’s heritage through military reference material.
A manageable size for reading or carrying
At 5.5 by 8 inches, this handbook keeps its 444 pages in a relatively compact footprint. It can go into a gear pack for reference away from home without requiring the space of a large-format book. Check those dimensions against your intended pack compartment if you plan to carry it regularly.
