As part of a new series which presents a range of SAS skills in various fields adapted for a civilian readership, The SAS Active Library: Self Defence makes sure that you are equipped, mentally and physically, to cope with a wide variety of threatening circumstances and confrontations. General sections on fitness and the law lead into the basics of self-defence and using everyday objects as defensive weapons. Attacks on public transport, in your own car or by animals are all covered, as are sections on medical emergencies and tips especially for women to deal with occurences such as gang attacks, stalking and malicious phonecalls. All defence techniques covered are illustrated with clear, step-by-step photographs.
