Book Review: Colonel Cooper Cuts to the Chase
Summary: 5 Stars
I began reading the Colonel's books decades ago. Finally got a chance to go to Gunsite for Pistol and Carbine courses in March of 2009. Although the Colonel has passed away his spirit lives on there. I met his wife and she gave our class a tour of their house. Wonderful lady! As far as the book is concerned...It is about the most important aspect of personal defense: Mindset. Without a pre-developed mindset and determination to survive, you will often not prevail against violent predators. No matter what fancy gun you happen to be carrying. As a martial artist for the past 35 years, I can attest to the validity of this. The chapters of this book form the foundations for survival. Read it, and live your life not fearful, but more determined and aware.

Summary of Principles of Personal Defense
Jeff Cooper was perhaps the nation's foremost authority on defensive weaponcraft. He was renowned not only for his practical instruction on firearms marksmanship, mechanics and safety but also for his groundbreaking ideas on proper defensive mental conditioning. This final edition of Cooper's classic Principles of Personal Defense with a fitting tribute by firearms expert Louis Awerbuck and all-new drawings by renowned illustrator Paul Kirchner presents his timeless theory of individual defensive behavior clearly, concisely and practically. All free people who aspire to stay that way should read, study and share the wisdom found within these pages. Considered by many to be one of the greatest books on combat mindset and proper defensive mental conditioning ever written, it deserves a place of honor in every library. Jeff Cooper was one of the true pioneers of weaponcraft in the United States. His numerous accomplishments include founder of Gunsite Ranch, editor at large of Guns & Ammo magazine, winner of the Outstanding American Handgunner award in 1995, Rangemaster Emeritus of the U.S. Practical Shooting Association and long-time member of the board of directors of the National Rifle Association.Subjects Books
