About this title

Synopsis

The Tomahawk is a low-tech, high impact weapon that has been carried by American soldiers in every conflict since the Revolutionary War-and by men in other wars before then. The same versatility and effectiveness that endeared the multi purpose tomahawk to frontiersmen and Native Americans also make it a valuable addition to the arsenal of modern combatants. It saw service in Vietnam, and it is currently being used by special forces members in Afghanistan and Iraq, including U.S. Navy SEALs and Army Rangers, for everything from engaging enemies to digging foxholes to opening ammo containers.
