Book Reviews of Logic of Steel: A Fighter's View of Blade and Shank Encounters
Book Review: This Is A Very Informative and Quite Fascinating Book On the Use of Knives in the Real World
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this book for Christmas this year (2008) and anxiously started reading it as soon as I found out that I had actually got one of the things I wanted this year. "World Peace" wasn't under the tree this year, but who knows, maybe next year. Anyhow, I anxiously devoured this book in about 4 hours and actually couldn't wait to finish reading it so that I could start reading it again, slower and with much more thought than the first time, which is exactly what I did.
The author deserves high praise for the effort and research that he did over quite a period of time in order to share it with us in this very well laid out and easily presented format. I really enjoyed the various different accounts that the author presented as well as his commentaries on each one. There was a lot of good information that was presented by the author not only on the surface, but also in between the lines of text as well. You just need to really take a good look at some of it in order to find it, but it is there. This book should be a real eye-opener to some of you, and for others a validation of what you have been saying for awhile now.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in edged weapons and there use along with the following really good books on the subject:
Knife Fighting: A Practical Course
Knives, Knife Fighting, And Related Hassles: How To Survive A Real Knife Fight
Surviving Armed Assaults: A Martial Artists Guide to Weapons, Street Violence, and Countervailing Force
Contemporary Knife Targeting: Modern Science Vs. W.E. Fairbairn's Timetable of Death
