Download or read book Self Defense written by Wesley Brown and published by Loose Cannon. This book was released on 1951 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hidden Classic of mid-20th Century Defensive Tactics Originally published in 1951, this little known defensive classic is 'the manual' of Wesley Brown's Defensive Combat system as taught to Naval Aviators during World War 2. After a chance encounter at the Chicago World's Fair, he is recruited as a plain clothes officer to a Chicago police department by Col. Isham Randolph (of the crime-fighting Chicago Secret Six). Wesley rose quickly to become the asst. Director of the police training Traffic Institute at Northwestern University. Here he honed his concepts for defensive tactics suitable for police close quarters encounters with the criminal element. With the outbreak of WW2, he joined the Navy and was assigned to create a new hand-to-hand combat program for the Naval Air Corps. The program was so well received that both the Army, and fledgling O.S.S. patterned their courses after it. This course and the techniques in it are immortalized in the U.S. Navy film, "Hand to Hand Combat in Three Parts" which was both produced and stars Wesley Brown, showing his style of rough-and-tumble moves/counter-moves. An amazing and comprehensive look into early 1930's–40's defensive techniques. It deserves a place on any serious martial arts bookshelf. Topics covered include: - Unarmed Opponents - Armed opponents (Pistol/rifle/knife) - Police club use - Wrist Locks and escapes - Grapples, Chokes / escapes - Vulnerable Areas - Hand Blows - Kicks - Throws / Leg sweeps - Defensive moves for Ladies - Control holds, etc. - Training regimens Keywords: wrestling,rough and tumble,knife,baton,club,choke hold,police, OSS

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era when the global community is confronted with challenges posed by violent nonstate organizations--from FARC in Colombia to the Taliban in Afghanistan--our understanding of the nature and emergence of these groups takes on heightened importance. Julie Mazzei's timely study offers a comprehensive analysis of the dynamics that facilitate the organization and mobilization of one of the most virulent types of these organizations, paramilitary groups (PMGs). Mazzei reconstructs in rich historical context the organization of PMGs in Colombia, El Salvador, and Mexico, identifying the variables that together create a triad of factors enabling paramilitary emergence: ambivalent state officials, powerful military personnel, and privileged members of the economic elite. Nations embroiled in domestic conflicts often find themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place when global demands for human rights contradict internal expectations and demands for political stability. Mazzei elucidates the importance of such circumstances in the emergence of PMGs, exploring the roles played by interests and policies at both the domestic and international levels. By offering an explanatory model of paramilitary emergence, Mazzei provides a framework to facilitate more effective policy making aimed at mitigating and undermining the political potency of these dangerous forces.

Download or read book The Morality of Self-Defense and Military Action written by David B. Kopel and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-02-16 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shedding new light on a controversial and intriguing issue, this book will reshape the debate on how the Judeo-Christian tradition views the morality of personal and national self-defense. Are self-defense, national warfare, and revolts against tyranny holy duties—or violations of God's will? Pacifists insist these actions are the latter, forbidden by Judeo-Christian morality. This book maintains that the pacifists are wrong. To make his case, the author analyzes the full sweep of Judeo-Christian history from earliest times to the present, combining history, scriptural analysis, and philosophy to describe the changes and continuity of Jewish and Christian doctrine about the use of lethal force. He reveals the shifting patterns of thought in both religions and presents the strongest arguments on both sides of the issue. The book begins with the ancient Hebrews and Genesis and covers Jewish history through the Holocaust and beyond. The analysis then shifts to the story of Christianity from its origins, through the Middle Ages and the Reformation, up the present day. Based on this scrutiny, the author concludes that—contrary to popular belief—the legitimacy of self-defense is strongly supported by Judeo-Christian scripture and commentary, by philosophical analysis, and by the respect for human dignity and human rights on which both Judaism and Christianity are based.

Download or read book Second World War Infantry Tactics written by Stephen Bull and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2012-07-19 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide-ranging military study examines WWII infantry tactics and operations on both sides through the battlefields of Europe. The dirty and dangerous frontlines of World War II belonged to the men who fought in the infantry. Yet the history of infantry tactics is too rarely studied and often misunderstood. Stephen Bull corrects this oversight with an in-depth account of infantry theory and combat experience, covering the British, German, and American Armies in the European theater of operations. Bull’s close analysis of the rules of engagement, the tactical manuals, the training, and the equipment is balanced by vivid descriptions of the tactics as they were tested in action. These operational examples show how infantry tactics on all sides developed as the war progressed, and they give a telling insight into the realities of infantry warfare.
