Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. Later Edition. Originally published in 1943 and expanded through multiple editions, Kill or Get Killed stands as one of the most influential manuals on close‑quarters combat, mob control, and defensive tactics for police and military personnel. Applegate, a U.S. Army offic…er trained under William E. Fairbairn and Eric A. Sykes, distilled wartime hand‑to‑hand methods into practical instruction for postwar law enforcement. The 1976 Paladin Press edition—your copy—represents the "New Revised and Enlarged Edition", incorporating expanded sections on mob control, armed and unarmed defense, and psychological conditioning for lethal encounters. It includes hundreds of step‑by‑step illustrations, tactical diagrams, and procedural notes drawn from Applegate's wartime experience and later police training programs. This edition is notable for its Pennsylvania State Police endorsement printed on the jacket, positioning it as an official reference text for institutional training. The red cloth binding with gilt titles and the Paladin imprint mark it as a mid‑period edition, bridging the original military manual and the later reprints. THIS copy has very clean pages, but a poor dust jacket. Hard cover edition with dustjacket. 421 pages. Dimensions: 6" by 9". Published by Paladin Press, Boulder, CO. Original Copyright 1943: New/Revised Edition 1976: 1st printing, 1976. B&W illustrations. B&W photographs. Red binding. Dustjacket defect(s): Some chipping. Some tears. Missing pieces. 3 Pound Media Shipping Rate with Multiple Product Orders. (Min Shipping Rate 1 Pound per Order). Order More and SAVE! Genre(s): Law Enforcement / Combat / Instruction / English.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This a WW2 Combatives classic from Lt. Col Rex Applegate. Over the course of more than 330 pages, the reader is taken through a myriad of unarmed and armed combat techniques tried and tested on the battlefields of the second world war. Rex Applegate's masterpiece is a truly holistic work, sp…anning unarmed striking and grappling, sentry elimination, combat shooting and the deployment of knives, coshes and garottes. It is a fantastic example of how the O.S.S and wider American services took the core material of W.E Fairbairn, E.A Sykes and Pat O'Neil and evolved it for the purposes of the American espionage and raiding forces during and beyond the 1940's. Rex being an accomplished martial artist and firearms instructor in his own right brings his views on techniques, training and mind-set to life across this varied and immersive volume - alongside the history of their use and application. Containing a mixture of written instructions, photographs and illustrations - it clearly lays out the best ways to deliver and deploy the techniques. It is uniquely detailed on aspects such as knife defence, holster choices and the taking and detaining of prisoners. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
