The Official US Army Civil Disturbances Handbook - Updated U S Army

DEFEAT MOB VIOLENCE WITH THOUGHT AND POWER

Current edition ATP 3-39.33, big 8.5" x 11" format - large, clear text & pictures. Complete & unabridged This edition supersedes the old FM 3-19.15 "Batteries last hours, books last decades: get the print edition!"

Riots - protests - anarchy - crowd violence. Call them what you will, civil disturbances are becoming an all-too-common reality at home and around the world.



When a group of angry, emotional people comes together it only takes a spark to turn peaceful protestors into murderous, mindless thugs. This book shows how to understand the destructive mob mentality, contain and control groups of violent rioters and looters, and return peace and the rule of law to affected areas.



Written primarily for Military Police, this handbook is a valuable and very thorough read for any Soldier facing a hostile population, law enforcement officer working a dangerous neighborhood, or concerned citizen wishing to protect his or her life and property from the civil disturbances becoming a frequent event in our society.
