LIVING WITH TERRORISM SOLD
Survival Lessons from the Streets of Jerusalem, by Howard Linett 288 pg.

Very interesting instructional, with multiple anecdotes, from an Israeli security professional. Covers how to conduct risk assessments for major terror attacks, random violence , hard and soft targets, etc. Then goes on to describe profiling of terrorists, nature of threat utilizing arms, firebombs, vehicles and air assault, as well as WMD's.

Books covers in depth terrorist tactics including surveillance, ambushes, shooting attacks, both sniper and rapid fire, hijackings, takeovers, school intrusions and roadblocks.

Chapters 5 and 6 are also extremely useful, covering an array of tips on how to defend yourself and your family. Includes an extensive preparation plan for BioChem attacks, gas masks,sealed rooms, and evacuation protocols, including actual material from Israel's Home Front Command, word for word (in English). I found this book highly informative and the material detailed but also sprinkled with personal anecdotes driving home major points. I think you will find this quite useful. sold includes shipping in the USA.

FIGHTING FIT SOLD
Israel Defense Forces Guide to Physical Fitness and Self-Defense, by Col. David Ben-Asher 220 pg, (softcover)

This is, I believe, the first Israel produced book on Krav Maga as a purely fighting program, long before 'watered down' versions got popular in the USA.

Book begins with an overview of Israeli Defense Forces fitness standards, including General Military Fitness standards for both Men and Women, by age, and exercise (such as pullups, pushups, runs, etc). There are actually four major umbrella lesson plans, plenty of pics,virtually no fluff at all. Includes also special chapter on women's defense, knife and stick offense and defense, quite a bit of infighting with more of a military perspective, not sporting. Later at the end, it includes fitness programs for adults and youth, office workers, and a special chapter to keep your back in tip top shape. An insightful instructional manual on core Krav Maga, groin strikes, eye gouges, knee and ankle breaks, etc. SOLD includes shipping USA.

A PURITY OF ARMS
An American in the Israeli Army, by Aaron Wolf 227 pg, (Hardcover)

This book is a personal story of a 28 year old American who decides to move overseas and join the Israeli army. Covers a lot of his basic and advanced infantry training, paratrooper training, day to day tasks, tests, exercises, drills, tips, organizational plans, movement, complex officer-enlisted relationships as his training advances. Covers a lot, actually. He records his experiences both near Lebanon and in the West Bank, as a soldier and as a riot control agent, something he does NOT relish. Paints a picture far more insightful and detailed than the current headlines can possibly convey.

I found this book both engaging and quite compelling. Whatever side of the political spectrum you find yourself, you can't help but learn a lot from this book.
$10, includes shipping USA.
