Description:Deadly Fighting Skills of the World is
the most in-depth study yet of how trained soldiers kill and wound, and
a complete insight into how human beings can be turned into deadly
fighting machines.
These skills can be primitive as well as
ultramodern. Far Eastern elite troops train in the historic martial
arts: the South Korean Tiger Division is expert in the lethal skills of
punching and kicking. Western special forces can fight with their hands,
using them to defeat heavily armed assailants, and can kill without a
sound. They can improvise weapons from materials at hand. But they also
have access to the most sophisticated weaponry: hand-held anti-tank guns
which can transform a tank into a blazing hulk. They know the latest
techniques of ambush, how to assassinate heavily guarded political
opponents, and how to rapidly destroy key installations.
All the above and much more is in this exceptionally interesting book, made more graphic by 100 diagrams and 80 photographs.
