This new book is what our young warriors need. At one of David's last briefings a Senior NCO approached me and said, 'Sir, the army spent 18 years and thousands of dollars teaching me to kill. This is the first time I have been taught how to deal with it.' This book will allow those not fortunate enough to hear David do their own preparation for the ultimate test.-Lt. Col. Hal McNair Professor at the Joint Spec Ops University
Quite frankly, it is an awesome book, the best available anywhere on the subject. On Killing was great, this is even better. It will be required reading at the PD and in my Army units. You did us proud.-Randy Watt Veteran Cop and Green Beret Veteran of Afghanistan
A former army Ranger, paratrooper, West Point Psychology Professor and author of the classic book, On Killing, Lt. Col. Dave Grossman is currently the Director of the Warrior Science Group and one of the world's foremost experts in the field of human aggression and the psychology of combat.
