This book is a must read for students of WWII history, particularly those interested in the combatives training of the OSS. There are many personal reminescences by Applegate on other combatives instructors. In the course of his work he met WE Fairbairn, EA Sykes, John Styers, and Drexel Biddle. The development of the curriculum that was taught is of special interest.

A must own!
20. August 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
As the founder and chief instructor of a system of self-defense training, incorporating both armed and unarmed self-defense techniques, I ve found the information in this book to be the most practical and realistic with regards to CQB, than any other publication. Col. Applegate utilizes practical, effective and efficient tactics and techniques with the handgun and knife for close combat encounters of a lethal nature. The point shooting technique is a reactive and reflexive method of a spontaneous shooting response, which has been scientifically proven as the natural response by a person under life endangering stress, a technique Fairbairn, Sykes, and Applegate knew 58 years ago. As a police officer of 20 years and an instructor of police officer survival skills, I know his techniques work. This is an excellent book for realistic close quarter combat. A must own book for self defense and police defensive tactics instructors.

Great Historic Information on Close Combat
14. Mai 2002
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book provides a great history of the development of close combat by Applegate and his contemporaries. It is a wonderful combination of original "lesson plans" with well-documented historical details and photographs about the people and events that lead to the ideas contained in those lesson plans. There is also some good follow-up on what happened to these concepts after WWII.
This is a great historic document, however I think that the author could have done several relatively small things that would have added a great deal to making the book more "user friendly". First, a glossary would have been nice. There are many acronyms; I would have liked a central place to look them up and also read a few basic details about the related organizations (and people) that were not provided in the main text. Second, a time-line would have been awesome because it could have summarized the information in the book and could also have offered additional (brief) details on Applegate's life and/or the lives of his contemporaries. Finally, some minor editing could have removed some redundant material and left room for my previous suggestions.
