Provides a comprehensive study of human behaviour in organisational setting, discusses the theory and principles of self-organisation, outlines the strengths of self-organisation over command organisation, and offers a roadmap to set up and sustain in any culture and society a hostage rescue force specialising in mass hostage rescue.
Scholarly, multidisciplinary, and iconoclastic, this book provides a comprehensive study of human behaviour in organisational setting, discusses the theory and principles of self-organisation, elaborates the strengths of self-organisation over command organisation, and gives a complete roadmap to set up and sustain in any culture and society an exceptionally capable hostage rescue force specialising in mass hostage rescue. However, its numerous valuable insights, relying not on technology but people and employing the force of their intrinsic motivation, are not relevant to the niche of special forces and wider military context alone but can be employed across all occupational settings to build highly efficient organisations where people work voluntarily and deliver responsibly without the supervision and control of command element. Beyond formal organisations, all fields of human activities, including the private lives of individuals too can immensely benefit from radical ideas and useful information contained in it.

Avichal is a police officer who has been associated with the world of special forces as a practitioner, instructor, designer, administrator, institution builder, and adviser for over two decades and has operated and trained in many countries of the world. He writes in preface that "this is a book of ideas, of such ideas that challenge the established ways of thinking and doing." So, "ask not who I am and what I have done because that will lead your search for authority, not ideas. Ideas are bigger than a man. An idea is worth a million men, and sometimes, even more.
