Book excerpt: This second edition of 'A Posture of Defence' differs from the first edition only in having black-and-white illustrations, rather than coloured ones. Using mostly contemporary documents and letters, this short book tells the story of the intermittent building, for over one hundred years, of Chatham's 'Lines' - the Lines of Fire which would have defended the town's Royal Dockyard from an attack over land, expected almost daily during the Seven Years' War, the American Revolution and the Napoleonic War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debates over the U.S. global defense posture are not new. As policymakers today evaluate the U.S. forward military presence, it is important that they understand how and why the U.S. global posture has changed in the past. Today's posture is under increasing pressure from a number of sources, including budgetary constraints, precision-guided weapons that reduce the survivability of forward bases, and host-nation opposition to a U.S. military presence. This monograph aims to describe the evolution of the U.S. global defense posture from 1783 to the present and to explain how the United States has grown from a relatively weak and insular regional power that was primarily concerned with territorial defense into the preeminent global power, with an expansive system of overseas bases and forward-deployed forces that enable it to conduct expeditionary operations around the globe. This historical overview has important implications for current policy and future efforts to develop an American military strategy, in particular the scope, size, and type of military presence overseas. As new and unpredictable threats emerge, alliance relationships are revised, and resources decline, past efforts at dealing with similar problems yield important lessons for future decisions. The author draws recommendations out of these lessons that touch on the importance of strategic planning; the need to think globally; the desirability of a lighter, more agile footprint overseas; and more.

Examples are drawn from proven martial arts including Wing Chun, Jeet Kune Do, Karate, Combat Tai Chi, Capoeira, Jujitsu, Bagua, Boxing and the Filipino Martial Arts. Included in this book is a detailed section on Dim mak or Vital points which features a new simplified system for learning the point locations. Contents include: - * Advice on avoiding trouble before the fighting starts. * Defence against Knives and other armed attacks. * The use of Dim mak Vital points and Pressure Points * Locks, Throws, Takedowns, Strikes and Kicking. * Use of Knives and everyday objects for defence. * Selecting firearms for close range defence. Foreword by Erle Montaigue, Co-Author of the Encyclopaedia of Dim-Mak
