How
To Fight Back & Win -- The Joy Of Self Defense
by Judith Fein
Former
military intelligence officer Fein has a black belt
in tae kwan do. She brings her own self-defense
program to readers through step-by-step lessons
illustrated by photos that demonstrate stances and
moves. She covers the basics of physical self-defense
and of preventing rape and sexual assault, escaping
from multiple assailants, and defending against armed
attackers. As important as the physical techniques,
she says, are the psychological elements involved (as
in both fear of fighting and successfully fighting),
the legal aspects of self-defense, preventing
domestic violence, being protected at home and on the
road, and the other skills women need to be
streetwise. Key to her whole presentation is seeing
self-defense skills as survival skills and that
self-defense begins with self-esteem.
How

diving accidents, shipwrecks, desert hikes,
avalanches, jungle travel, and other hazards is
possible, according to Maniguet, who offers a large
body of supporting advice, factual evidence, and
true-adventure tales. Lists of myths precede his
facts and amazing survival stories. He offers charts
that delineate types of vaccines, medicines, snow,
sharks, and snakes. His blend of anecdotes and how-to
makes this a fascinating book for the armchair
traveler as well as an essential guide for the daring
one, whether camper or polar explorer.

Ayoob
offers something rare, common sense. The book is not
the usual testosterone overdosed rant about how to
kill the bad guys it is a realistic view of how to
avoid trouble and how to deal with trouble if it can
not be avoided by a respected and seasoned police
officer and educator.

Like
his stick fighting book,this is an excellent read as
well. The techniques shown are brutally effective and
easy to learn.Had this not been the case, Mr.Echanis

instructors for the Special Ops.

Paintball!
Strategies & Tactics
by Peter Wrenn
Stalk
& Kill
by Adrian Gilbert
Military
insiders would do well to eyeball this stalwart
survey of an important yet understudied martial art.
British historian Gilbert (Sniper: The World of
Combat Sniping, 1995) begins with the American
Revolution, works his way through major and minor
wars, and concludes by pondering the role of snipers
in present-day Bosnia. He writes, for example, of the
Kentucky long rifle, which with its longer barrel and
smaller bore became the best hunting weapon of its
time (with a marksmanship potential highly prized by
a nation of hardy, dead-eye hunters). British
regulars, on the other hand, burdened with their
inaccurate ``Brown Bess'' muskets, suffered heavily
from canny, mobile American sharpshooters; Gilbert
opines that the gap separating war and hunting can at
times be a small one.

knives, survival kits, folders, combat and
streetfighting knives and knife specs and
