Principles of Personal Defense by Jeff Cooper

Jeff Cooper, president and founder of The American Pistol Institute is perhaps the nation's foremost instructor of defensive weaponcraft. As such, he teaches not only marksmanship, safety, and weapon mechanics, but also defensive mental conditioning. This new edition of Cooper's classic Principles of Personal Defense presents his timeless theory of individual defensive behavior clearly, concisely, and practically. All free people who aspire to stay that way should read, study, and share the wisdom found within these pages. Considered by many to be one of the greatest books on combat mind-set ever written, it deserves a place of honor in every library.
