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.

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.

America's Special Forces :: Weapons, Missions, Training
by David Bohrer
Bohrer offers a timely look at these elite troops. The first five chapters provide an in-depth look at each of the military services' special operations, including a short history of the unit, qualifications to begin the rigorous training program, the actual training program, how the units are organized, the equipment and weapons used, and potential missions. The final chapter offers a short essay on their future. Although each service is examined in detail, almost half the book is dedicated to the Army's Green Berets and Rangers, who make up the majority of the special-operations forces. The book is lavishly illustrated with color photographs that enhance the well-written, easy-to-understand text. This book will have appeal to teens because of the on-going war against terrorism. It should be noted, however, that it was written prior to the war in Afghanistan. Hence, there is no information on current operations.

Basic Stick Fighting For Combat
by Michael Echanis
This book was one of the first of the post-Vietnam era "military martial arts" books. It is the third (and last) in a proposed series of nine books presenting Echanis' Special Forces applications of Hwarangdo. The author died while the book was in production, and it shows. The text is not nearly so detailed as in his first two books, and two sections were photographed using other people (one with his instructor, one with one of his training partners). Still, this book sports some excellent combat applications using various lengths of sticks. As in most Ohara books, the photos are of good quality. While many books have dealt with the topic of stick fighting in greater depth since this one was published, this book is a fine addition to the library of anyone who is interested in martial arts for combat.

Knifemaking :: A Complete Guide To Crafting Knives, Handles & Sheaths
by Bo Bergman
If you're a blacksmith looking for tips on making knife blades, there's not a lot here for you. Sorry. But if you'd like to make a knife without building a forge or buying a stock-removal system, you're in the right place. This book was originally written for the Scandinavian market, and then translated into English. The people of Sweden, Norway and Finland often buy an inexpensive (locally made) knife blade, then assemble the handle from wood, or birch bark, antlers, brass spacers, etc...and make a leather and/or wooden sheath for themselves. They wind up with a 'custom' knife for the low price of a blade, their time, and a few natural materials they gather on the spot. This is a tradition in their part of the world, and this book shows how to do it, and do it very well. It has clearly translated instructions, good illustrations, it's well worth the asking price.
