As
some of you already know, the rewrite of Attack, Avoid, Survive has just been
released. This is a shade over five years since the original was first printed.
What has changed and why is the new “Global edition” better?
One
of the main changes is that I have reformatted the text so that the font is slightly
larger but I can get twice as much text on a page. Since the new copy has
nearly eighty extra pages you are effectively getting 50% more book than in the
previous edition. The new edition contains considerable additional content.
This includes new techniques, new applications for the “old” techniques and
nearly twenty extra illustrations. Various sections have been rewritten or
expanded. There are even brand new sections on topics such as handcuffing and
the use of flashlights. This edition also includes more cross references so you
can more easily find illustrations or passages referred to elsewhere in the
text.
It
has been a couple of months since Crash Combat when on sale and a number of
copies have been sold. The two books have been written to be complimentary.
Many of the topics that I could only briefly touch on in Crash Combat are dealt
with in more depth in the global edition of Attack, Avoid, Survive. Crash
Combat is not, however, a slimmed down version of Attack, Avoid, Survive. It
contains content and techniques not covered in the larger book.
I
hope you enjoy the books.
