This review is from: KGB Alpha Team Training Manual: How The Soviets Trained For Personal Combat, Assassination, And Subversion (Paperback)

This book is the translation of a Russian text dating back to 1945, the hayday the Soviet Union. The chapters covering the history of the Spetznaz, past and present, is very interesting, especially the parts detailing the different branches of Special Action teams and how they relate, but the technical portion of the manual tends to be vague and too general to be of use unless you’re already a student of Samooborona bez Oruzhia (commonly known by the Russian acronym “Sambo” and translated as “self defense without weapons”). Don’t buy this manual if you’re looking to study Soviet hand to hand combat. If that’s what you’re after, go to http://www.russianmartialart.com or http://www.amerross.com.

The author/translator, Jim Shortt, retained many of the terms common in the Soviet Union, which may seem odd to Americans (I wouldn’t even try to explain “moral-political” to your average American, as I have a hard time grasping it!).

There is also a section on physical fitness and recovery which is interesting, and probably as relavent today as it was in 1945.

This is not a bad book, and I do recommend it, but only if kept in perspective.

I found the book to be very interesting from a historical viewpoint but found many of the techniques inside to be very standard issue.Not a groundbreaking book but not a bad one either.
