KILL OR GET KILLED brings together the best information on techniques of hand-to-hand combat and other subjects of importance to law enforcement officers.
With the bombing of Pearl Harbor, war burst upon an unprepared America. Our young men, wrenched from a world where "fair play" was the code by which all games were conducted, were faced with a foe trained to ruthless killing. They had to be taught to be tougher, meaner, more efficient and more merciless than the enemy if this country was to survive.
It was of this necessity that the book, "Kill or Get Killed" was born.
Techniques of hand to hand fighting worked out by then Captain Rex Applegate and his staff were taught to thousands of men going into combat. Many of these returned to verify the rightness of these techniques or to give information by which they were corrected or refined. In 1943, Applegate published this volume which became, and has remained, the basic classic text on close combat. Now long out of print, the few copies still in existence have been treasured by fighting men the world over.
As a nation, we are not now formally at war. As a society, menaced by ever escalating crime, the need for this book was never greater.
Study and practice of the principles explained and illustrated will help you and those dependent on you to survive
