Ambush!
A Professional's Guide to Preparing & Preventing Ambushes
by Lt. Col. Joshua Potter, USA,Commander Gary Stubblefield, USN (Ret.), and Mark Monday. Foreword by Richard Danzig

Since its release in 1994, Killing Zone: A Professional's Guide to Preparing and Preventing Ambushes has been hailed by military professionals for its clarity and depth of understanding of ambushes. Now, this classic book has been retitled and thoroughly revised and updated for today's evolving battlefield.

Ambush! contains much of the original material drawn from author Gary Stubblefield's experiences in Vietnam and beyond as a U.S. Navy SEAL and counterinsurgency expert Mark Monday's decades of research and analysis. Now the book has been reorganized and expanded based on the battlefield knowledge of U.S. Army Special Forces Lt. Col. Joshua Potter, a decorated combat veteran of Iraq who used, refined, and updated the original edition.

Ambush! incorporates the expertise of combat veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan, security contractors, and Special Operations professionals who have set up ambushes in war-torn Central and South America, Africa, and the Philippines. It includes:

A revised look at the anatomy, operational cycle, and warning signs of an ambush
Lessons learned from conducting, preventing, and countering ambushes in Afghanistan and Iraq
Procedures for dealing with ambushes involving IEDs
Counterambush and antiambush tactics, techniques, and procedures utilizing current technology, as well as low-tech and improvised solutions
Special considerations for NGOs operating in contested areas

Ambush! is much more than a book of ambush case studies – it is a practical survival guide to some of the most treacherous regions of the world.

Lt. Col. Joshua Potter is a U.S. Army officer who has served in several operational assignments in CONUS, Europe, and Southwest Asia. Upon graduating from West Point in 1993, he served in a variety of Air Defense Artillery, Special Forces, and Civil Affairs assignments. In one recent tour of duty, his small U.S. team and 700- man Iraqi National Police battalion nabbed more than 90 insurgents, and he personally discovered and secured six IEDs and VBIEDs. He is currently serving on his fourth combat tour to Iraq as a Combat Advisor.

Gary Stubblefield, Commander, USN (Ret.), is one of the original SEAL "Men in Green Faces," with combat experience in Vietnam, Central America, and early Gulf War conflicts. As president of Vantage System Incorporated, an international security management firm, he remains active in antiterrorist efforts throughout the globe.

Mark Monday is an award-winning writer who specializes in insurgency and revolt. A veteran journalist who formerly published two international journals on insurgency, he has been active as a consultant to government agencies on special operations forces, terrorist uses of weapons of mass destruction, human terrain team research, and intelligence doctrine.
