"War is a brutal business, whether it be war against an ememy or war against the criminal who strikes from within. And personal combat, at close quarters, is its most brutal a…spect. Today [during the Korean War] we are fighting against an utterly ruthless Communist enemy, one who feels he must win at any cost, even at the cost of human decency. To survive, the soldier who meets such an enemy must know all the dirty tricks of close combat. The same principle applies when the enemy is domestic. This book is designed to meet this situation. It is an intensely practical and forthright description of the techniques of hand-to-hand combat." - Publisher's Foreword. Average wear to publisher's maroon cloth. Front hinge weak. Prior owner's name, bookplate and address label upon front endpaper. Name written atop title page. Dust jacket not included. A worthy early reference copy of this highly-regarded manual first printed during WWII and widely used in commando training.; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; Close Combat, Hand to Hand Combat, Self-Defense.

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Sixth Edition. 528 pages. Index. Generously illustrated with excellent black and white photos and diagrams. This books is an expansion and revision of the author's 'Kill Or Get Killed" and is intended to "make available to civil and military law enforcement agencies th…e most up-to-date methods of handling crowd and riot situations. Its scope ranges from the friendly persuasion of a peaceful crowd to the application of varying degrees of force when lesser means are inadequate to insure control, even to the use of ball ammunition in an all-out riot. Crowds are analyzed as well as mobs, and particularly the transition from crowd to mob. An effort is made to distinguish between the actions that may be expected from a professionally led and agitated mob and those of a spontaneous mob. To our knowledge, there is probably nobody better qualified than Colonel Applegate to describe these techniques" - Publisher's Foreword. Former library copy with usual markings. Moderate wear to tight and square book. Light wear to vividly illustrated dust jacket which is now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. A sound vintage copy of this superb reference.; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; Close-combat, Riot Control, Crowd Control, Chemical Munitions, Police dogs, Police batons, Room Combat, Knife Attack and Defense, Prisoner Handling, Law Enforcement.
