Colonel Applegate was THE recognized authority on unarmed combat techniques. "This edition is being published at a time when the world is in a state of unrest. Race riots, intolerance, Communist-inspired mob violence, and nationalism emphasize the importance of mob control by the established forces of law and order. Three new chapters have been added on the techniques involved. in riot control." (from Publisher's Foreword). "In 1941 Applegate was developing armed and unarmed close quarter combat courses for the US Army Office of Strategic Services (O.S.S), specifically to build and run what was called 'The School for Spies and Assassins', Applegate was assigned to learn all that he could about armed and unarmed fighting from William E. Fairbairn (who worked in a then-very-dangerous Shanghai in the 1920's) to form a brutal and effective system. He was the close-combat coordinator for all clandestine missions and this role brought him into contact with other fighters and martial artists of the time period such as a Finnish soldier who killed 21 Russians with a knife and the founder of the British SAS: David Stirling. At one point during the war, Applegate served as the personal bodyguard to President Franklin D Roosevelt. (paraphrased from Wikipedia entry).

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Sixth Edition. 528 pages. Index. Generously illustrated with excellent black and white photos and diagrams. This books is an expansion and revision of the author's 'Kill Or Get Killed" and is intended to "make available to civil and military law enforcement agencies the most up-to-date methods of handling crowd and riot situations. Its scope ranges from the friendly persuasion of a peaceful crowd to the application of varying degrees of force when lesser means are inadequate to insure control, even to the use of ball ammunition in an all-out riot. Crowds are analyzed as well as mobs, and particularly the transition from crowd to mob. An effort is made to distinguish between the actions that may be expected from a professionally led and agitated mob and those of a spontaneous mob. To our knowledge, there is probably nobody better qualified than Colonel Applegate to describe these techniques" - Publisher's Foreword. Former library copy with usual markings.
