Tiradores Francis U Villanueva

TIRADORES is an inside look into the Philippines' premier CT unit, the Light Reaction Regiment (LRR). It tells the most compelling account in the annals of Philippine counter terrorism in recent times and brings to light the secretive and humble origins of the Unit - from its early days as a company, to a battalion and finally, to the regiment that it is today. It is a vivid, no holds barred account of counter terrorist operations conducted by the enigmatic LRR in a developing nation rocked by decades of low intensity conflict emanating from the jungles of Sulu and Basilan to the bustling and vibrant cities of Zamboanga and Marawi.
