About This Item
Harrisburg, PA: Military Service Publishing Co.. Fair with no dust jacket. 1943. First Edition. Hardcover. "I have tried to outline in this book a system of training in methods to fit the realities of [WWII], including instruction in unarmed combat, disarming, knife fighting, and methods of fighting with unconventional weapons. Throughout the book I have tried to make the instruction simple, specific, and practical. Indoctrination in the offensive is the basic idea on which all effective combat methods are built, and I have kept this requirement steadily in mind. Enemy [German] uniforms in many of the pictures were used for the sake of realism." - Preface. "This book is the result of study and practical experiences of experts in the various fields of combat discussed herein. The material is presented not as a compilation of all combat methods and techniques, but rather as a selection of the best and most practical methods now being used. Police and law enforcement agencies in particular would do well to pay heed to these methods, because after the present conflict the world will be faced by criminals who will take advantage of their military training to run riot in the post war world." - Publisher's Foreword. Profusely illustrated with black and white photos demonstrating how to disarm and end your opponent. 8.25" x 5.75". [8], 175 pages. Details of prior owner, a U.S. serviceman in 1943, handwritten inside front board. Dust jacket not included. Binding intact. Above-average external wear and soiling to publisher's yellow cloth. A sound vintage copy of this classic, dead-serious reference.; 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall; unarmed combat, disarming, knife fighting, unconventional weapons, combat methods, WWII, strangulation, fighting knives, hand guns, training, Japanese close combat .
