Volume three contains twelve reprints from U.S.Army manuals documenting the evolution of the U.S.Army’s interest in Tunnel Warfare from 1900 to 1980. Part One contains a wealth of information on the technology of Tunnel Warfare, as learned from the experience of World War One. While Part Two shows the rapid decline in interest after World War Two, a decline which the U.S.Military paid for dearly in Vietnam.
