In battlefield situations where soldiers are forced to fight enemies in close contact, superior hand-to-hand combat skills can mean the difference not only between victory and defeat, but also between life and death. This authoritative manual addresses close-combat fundamentals from their history to their current role in modern warfare, and illustrates basic techniques and training methods with detailed photo sequences. The training program discussed in this book--a program specifically developed for and used by the United States Army--draws from many divergent branches of the martial arts and sports worlds from wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to traditional martial arts and Ultimate Fighting. Additionally, it features anecdotes from troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan who used some of these hand-to-hand techniques in combat as well as lessons learned from the battlefield.

No matter how you translate it from the original French, this story matters. The love, sacrifice, change, and forgiveness found in these pages will touch the hearts of those who read it. It is a journey from evil to good, from false to true, from night to day, from hell to heaven. It is the journey of a soul from devil to angel. The original book would fill 2,600 pages this size. This version is less than 10% of that, yet the power of the book remains. May you love reading this book yourself, and aloud to your children and grandchildren. About the Author - Matt Larsen is the father of four children. He has loved this book for decades, and in 2010 he started telling the story to his kids at bedtime. He told a little part each night, and it took over a month to tell the whole thing. This book came from those bedtime stories.
