Defense on the Other Hand: Understanding defensive techniques

A Unique Way to Study Defense

In their previous book together, On the Other Hand, David Bird and
Larry Cohen presented cardplay instruction in a novel way. 100 pairs of
deals were shown -- one described by David and the other by Larry. The
deals looked similar (in some cases very similar) but an entirely different
line of play was necessary to make each of the contracts. The book was
well received and won the American Bridge Teachers' Association 'Book
of the Year' award.

This follow-up volume uses exactly the same approach, but addresses
defense rather than declarer play. Only by clearly understanding the
defensive techniques involved will you be able to defeat such contracts
when you encounter them at the table.

DAVID BIRD has written 138 bridge books, a record, and is an eight-time winner of the American Bridge Teachers' Association 'Book of the Year'. His humorous stories, featuring the cantankerous Abbot and the monks of St Titus, have appeared for over forty years in Bridge Magazine.

Larry Cohen had a glittering record as a player (with dozens of wins in national and international events) before switching to teaching and writing about the game. He has written award-winning books and bridge software/videos and now teaches around the USA and on many bridge cruises worldwide.
