A brief, but insightful look at history shows the evolution of combat, the development of the physical and
psychological leverage that enables humans to kill other humans, followed by an objective examination of
domestic violence in America. The authors reveal the nature of the warrior, brave men and women who train
their minds and bodies to go to that place from which others flee. After examining the incredible impact of a
few true warriors in battle, On Combat presents new and exciting research as to how to train the mind to
become inoculated to stress, fear and even pain.
Sharpening the Warrior’s Edge is the first text which examines survival and combat performance
from a scientific perspective. Author Bruce K. Siddle methodically brings together one hundred
years of research which identifies the relationship between survival stress, the heart rate and
combat performance.
Beyond mere theory, the text explains...
• why combat performance and reaction time deteriorates under the effects of survival stress
• why and how perceptual and visual narrowing occurs during combat
• an insight into Survival Stress Management techniques designed for combat
• how to develop a training methodology which combines educational psychology, neurobiology,
principles of learning and motor learning research
Most importantly, Siddle explores the psychological and spiritual components which establish the
warrior mindset. This pioneering text is a must read for present-day warriors, or anyone involved in
use of force, combat or martial arts training.

A Case Study: Paducah, Kentucky
Michael Carneal, the 14-year-old killer in the Paducah, Kentucky school shootings, had never fired a
real pistol in his life. He stole a .22 pistol, fired a few practice shots, and took it to school. He fired
eight shots at a high school prayer group, hitting eight kids, five of them head shots and the other
three upper torso (Grossman & DeGaetana, 1999).
I train numerous elite military and law enforcement organizations around the world. When I tell them
of this achievement they are stunned. Nowhere in the annals of military or law enforcement history
can we find an equivalent "achievement."
Where does a 14-year-old boy who never fired a gun before get the skill and the will to kill? Video
games and media violence.

In recent years "warrior" has become a buzzword. Most often it’s used properly, though sometimes
its use is a stretch of the definition. To seek out the true meaning of warrior and warriorhood, Loren
W. Christensen - retired cop, war veteran, high-ranking martial artist and prolific author - went to the
source, to those who live it.
The writers who contributed to this work are some of the finest warrior authors, warrior trainers and
warrior scholars today. They have been there and done that. Many have fought on the edge of death’
s yawning orifice, survived, and now teach others to do the same. Some are still in the trenches.

LEADERSHIP AND TRAINING FOR THE FIGHT
Paul Howe is a veteran Army Delta operator who was a member of the Delta squadron that was deployed to
Somalia as part of Task Force Ranger in August 1993 where he participated in the Battle of Mogadishu.
According to the “resume” on his website, MSG Howe has 20 Years experience in the U.S. Army with 10
years in special operations as an assault team leader, sniper and senior instructor. He’s conducted more
than 40 successful combat raid missions and has participated in multiple high-risk protection missions for
U.S. dignitaries. He also has three years of law enforcement experience. Anybody who has read “Blackhawk
Down” knows who MSG Howe was and what he did. When a man like MSG Howe has something to say, I
believe that we in “in the business” should pay attention.
And MSG Howe does have something to say. He has authored a book titled “Leadership and Training for the
Fight”, a compact tome rich with tactical, leadership and combat skills information. Right at the beginning,
MSG Howe says: “I have come to the conclusion that our society will not come to an end because of natural
disaster or through a superior enemy, but rather through a lack of leadership and initiative on our part.” This
passage nicely frames the axis of advance of his book which deals with combat and leadership issues at
individual, team and organizational levels. It also covers leadership selection, mindset, planning and
education. I highly reccommend this book for anybody who may have to lead (or be lead) “to the sound of the
guns”.
The book is available from his Web site , www.combatshootingandtactics.com which also has articles from
MSG Howe that are worth reading.
