"One of the major goals of Special Forces training is the development and maintenance of skills required to insure maximum chance of survival and mission accomplishment. Many of our missions require operating deep within enemy territory where the possibility of engaging in hand-to-hand combat increases. The soldier trained only in the use of his basic weapon loses his effectiveness if his weapon fails to fire or breaks. The soldier skilled in hand-to-hand fighting can continue to defend himself, engage the enemy, and accomplish the mission. This manual provides: Commanders and staffs with a basic reference for training Special Forces soldiers in hand-to-hand fighting techinques; Instructors with basic techniques, programs of instruction, and methods for certifying student proficiency; The individual soldier with a reference from which he can continue to develop and practice his hand-to-hand fighting skills on his own. " Numerous b/w photos. ., US Army Institute For Military Assistance, Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina, 1976. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. 324 pages. Footnotes. Index. A compact but comprehensive biography brilliantly portraying the poignant revelations of John Adam's inner life implicit in the recently released Adams family manuscripts. The formal side of Adams is reconciled with his remarkably colorful private life by Shaw's penetrating grasp of the whole man. Considerable attention is given to his clash of wills with Franklin in Europe and his later relationship with Jefferson. The account of Adams's twenty-five years of retirement after losing the presidency resolves some of the dilemmas arising from the long career of a man who was never really suited by temperament for politics.
