The author Major W. E. Fairbairn was a tough Police officer who spent 30 years with the Shanghai Municipal Police where he learned ju-jitsu (Judo) Chinese boxing and other martial arts. He was senior instructor to British Special Forces during the war and was the co-inventor of the legendary Sykes-Fairbairn Commando knife. While in China he became the first foreigner living outside Japan ever admitted to Kodokan Jiu-Jutsu University in Tokyo where he was awarded the black belt second degree. Combining all the knowledge thus acquired he developed a system that stopped the Shanghai terrorists in their tracks demoralised the Nazis and probably proved a decisive factor in the success of Allied Special forces in World War Two. </p><p>This is a must book for the armed forces civilian defence groups police security guards and indeed anyone whose life may be threatened.</p>
