Summary: 4 Stars
Overall, I liked this book. There are some minor complaints. For example: The manual instructs you punch (with your fists) only "soft tissue areas" (I agree on this point by the way), then it proceeds to illustrate a Marine delivering an upper-cut to an opponent's jaw... since when is the jawbone or chin a "soft tissue area"?I'm glad to see the manual cover ground-fighting techniques; however, a lot of important details of the mount, the guard and some of the other key techniques are absent. This won't be a problem if you have a instructor who really knows his material - but I feel a manual of this sort should be more detailed, as soldiers ought to know the fine subtleties of techniques to make them 100% effective.
