Description

Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, with Loren W. Christensen, presents On Combat, a groundbreaking examination of what it takes to perform, cope, and survive in the toxicity of deadly combat as a soldier in a foreign land and as a police officer in the mean streets of urban America.

Written by two warriors who have been there and done that, On Combat looks at what happens to the human body under the stresses of deadly battle — the impact on the nervous system, heart, breathing, visual and auditory perception, and memory — then discusses new research findings about what measures warriors can take to prevent such debilitations so they can stay in the fight, survive, and win.
