Book excerpt: Louis Awerbuck is one of America's premier firearms trainers and instructors. He firmly believes that training and tactics are the most crucial elements in determining how people respond in a real fight. This book brings together a decade of articles by Awerbuck in S.W.A.T. and Soldier of Fortune magazines on subjects ranging from creative target systems and firearms marksmanship under stress to defensive survival of a deadly-force encounter. But above all the book is intended to promote thought on surviving a fight in an increasingly deteriorating society. Tactical Reality is not for the person who looks for trouble where he could have avoided it. It is not for the man who shuns cover and takes an unnecessary bullet. It is not for the squeamish or anyone who isn't prepared to fight to defend himself or his family. It is for everyone interested in finding out how to take a realistic approach to training so that, if need be, he can turn the tactical odds in a gunfight in his favor. This book proves that you are what you practice.

Book excerpt: Culture is not just the expression of individual interests and orientations, manifested in groups according to rules and habits. It also offers identification with a system of values. The construction of cultural memory and the establishing of a symbolic order through setting up mental and ideological spaces is a traditional practice of cultural engineering. Developments in electronic communication and digital media allows for a global telepresence of values and behavioral norms, and provide increasing possibilities for controlling public opinion by accelerating the flow of persuasive communication. Information is increasingly indistinguishable from propaganda, defined as "the manipulation of symbols as a means of influencing attitudes." Whoever controls the metaphors controls thought. in this lexicon of culture as social control, Austrian media theorist Konrad Becker illuminates media practices that transform conspiracy into normative reality, and disbelief into the condition of truth.

Book excerpt: With The Tactical Reality Dictionary Konrad Becker presents a manual illuminating 72 of the most important terms in "Cultural Intelligence and Social Control." In the "deceitful" order of a dictionary, we find short essays on key concepts from the technical terminology of "cyber-sociology": "Ambiguous Information," "Belief Networks," "Consistent Illusions," etc. Rigorously researched through authentic intelligence sources, this unique document presents shocking insights on the dark underbelly of crypto-psychology, and sheds a completely new light on culture and the media. The individual -- long outpaced by the deluge of information and the power of the media -- is helplessly exposed to propaganda and manipulation. The fear-driven desire for personal security and complete surveillance is contrary to the idea of individual autonomy, but the newest security technologies not only undermine privacy, they force their way into the most intimate and private zones of the individual. "A Leviathan-like scenario where man is forced to abandon his right of self-determination against personal security." But this dictionary can be used differently...."Konrad Becker, like a modern Bruno, offers us a 'Memory Palace' (a dictionary no less) of knowledge about consciousness and its control, whether by self or others, in the age of the post-organic. For fuck's sake, don't leave home without it." -- Hakim Bey

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nomonhan" was a strong beginning for the Combat Studies Institute's publishing program. Author Drea's mastery of the Japanese-language source material, his interviews, his thorough use of U.S. archival material all make this a superb study that stands the test of time. Goldman and Coox have written on Nomonhan sice this volume was released, however neither does what Drea does here: render a complete, battalion-level account of the battles from the Japanese perspective. This is tactical level combat explained at its best. Previously available only in hard-to read html and Acrobat files, this completely redesigned book includes 19 maps, dozens of tables and pictures (including combat photographs), appendices, notes, and a bibliography. About the author: Dr. Edward J. Drea was a research fellow with the Combat Studies Institute. He received his masters degree in history from Sophia University, Tokyo and his PhD from the University of Kansas. He lived and studied in Japan for six years.

Book excerpt: Juxtaposes Antonio Gramsci’s work and critical race theory to offer a new understanding of tactics as a transformative practice. While scholars of social and political movements tend to analyze tactics in terms of their effectiveness in achieving specific outcomes, Robert F. Carley argues by contrast that tactics are, above all, what social movements do. They are not mere means to an end so much as they are a public form of expression pointing out injustices and making just demands. Rooted in a highly original analysis of the tactically mediated relationship between race and mobilization in the work of Italian philosopher and revolutionary Antonio Gramsci, Culture and Tactics demonstrates how tactics impact the organizational structures of social movements and expand the affinities of political communities. Carley looks at how Gramsci used innovative tactics to bridge perceptions of racial differences between factory workers and subaltern groups, the latter having been denigrated to the point of subhumanity by a complex Italian national racial economy. Newly envisioning Gramsci as a theorist of race within a broader context of social struggle, Carley connects Gramsci’s insights into the political mobilizations of racialized subaltern groups to contemporary critical race theory and cultural studies of racialization and racism. Speaking across disciplines and drawing on a number of empirical examples, Carleyoffers a battery of original concepts to assist scholars and activists in analyzing the tactical practices of protests in which race is a central factor. “This book provides an excellent rendering of Gramsci’s political perspective applied to race, and usefully extended to broader theoretical and practical applications.” — Lee Artz, coauthor of Cultural Hegemony in the United States
