It's James Reasoner's first non-fiction work, and it's a winner.

There are no martial arts tricks that need hours of practce to learn, just simple common sense techniques. I've been practising, and they do work! I've read this guy's magazine articles before, and I'm glad that he's decided to write this book. It's well worth ...             American Gunfight: The Plot to Kill President Truman--and the Shoot-out That Stopped It28 reviews Stephen Hunter, John Jr. Bainbridge Simon & Schuster, 2007 This is a winner! This has everything you want in a good book. A great story, history, drama, and pathos. I am a history teacher and was impressed by both the depth of research and the quality of the writing. This is about 2 Puerto Rican Nationalists who, compelled by their fervent beliefs, tried to assassinate President Harry Truman in 1950. Most people do not realize how close they came to succeeding.

Christensen Paladin Press, 1997 A needed tool for law officers As a former Oakland, CA police sergeant and veteran of a number deadly force encounters, I can recommend this book to all street officers.

This book allows you to gain from experience of deadly encounters without having to go through it ...             Wild Bill Hickok Gunfighter: An Account of Hickok's Gunfights7 reviews Joseph G. Rosa University of Oklahoma Press, 2003 Let the Fact Become the Legend Rosa is unquestionably the leading expert on Hickok. This book details Wild Bill's various "gunfights," in all their sad or sordid detail. As usual, the truth is much less spectacular than the fiction. For those unfamiliar with how the old six-shooters worked (or didn't work), this book is an excellent primer. Included is Bill's last "gunfight," his pathetic murder in a sad little saloon in ...             Classic Gunfights1 review Bob Boze Bell Tri Star-Boze Pubns, 2007 Truth be Told Classic Gunfights tells the true story about the famous gunfights of the Old West.

A bit pricey, but definitely worth it overall...             Gunfight at Mussel Slough: Evolution of the Western Myth (California Legacy Book)1 review Heyday Books, 2004 myth? I'm a bit disappointed that the author did not cite Wallace Smith's book of San Joaquin Valley history "Garden of the Sun". As a decendant of one of the main figures in the story, I tend to have a slanted view, but anything that gets some recognition of this important event in history is worth the read.             Guns, Bullets, And Gunfights: Lessons And Tales From A Modern-Day Gunfighter20 reviews Jim Cirillo Paladin Press, 1996 Invaluable Advice from a Master Gunfighter During Jim Cirillo's years with the legendary New York City Police Stakeout Unit (strangely enough, everyone I've ever seen or heard refer to this unit, in print or person, calls it the "Stakeout Squad" - except Jim Cirillo who tells me it was actually called the "Stakeout Unit") he participated in many of the most harrowing of its 252 armed encounters. Later, Cirillo spent more years as a ...             The Gunfight3 reviews Richard Matheson Thorndike Pr, 1993 The most climactic novel ever writen. One of the best! This book is un-doubtedly one of the best novels that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. It was definately "the most" climactic novel ever. I was shaking near the end as I read. You can really feel with the characters. The ending was shocking and disturbing. This is the best western I have ever read, the only other westerns I've read have been trashy supermarket paperbacks. Richard ...             Gunfight at the O.K. Corral: Luke and Jenny Visit Tombstone1 review Gayle Martin Wheatmark, 2007 Praise for Gayle Martin Gayle Martin's book "Gunfight At The O.K.

Corral2 reviews Thom Ross Fulcrum Publishing, 2001 A great Western myth captured in paint Thom Ross knows his O.K. Corral history -- there's no doubt about that -- but it is the O.K. Corral myth that he really seeks to translate into the painting contained in this book. Whereas most Western American art is firmly realistic, often almost photographic in intent, Ross's art dares to venture into the realm of the abstract to better capture those elements of myth. In nearly fifty ...             Force on Force Gunfight Training: The Interactive Reality-based Solution Paladin Press, 2006 Move beyond the static square range and into the world of intense interactive training with replica firearms against live human adversaries under real-world conditions.
