An applicable glance into the past...
By OldArcher
Rex Applegate learned from the best- W.E. Fairbairn and E.A. Sykes, men of the Shanghai Constabulary, who fought in over 200 gun battles during their tenure there... Fairbairn and Sykes were recalled to England, prior to World War II, to train those who would soon be in combat, around the world. Royal Commandos, SAS and SBS, MI5 and MI6, these men knew, already many times over, that in order to survive, when confronted by one's enemies, it was "Kill or Get Killed."
Prior to World War II, Rex Applegate joined the Army, by way of ROTC, and then went on to become a member of the Military Police. He was selected to learn the intricacies of hand-to-hand combat, by the OSS, and sent to England, to learn from the very best- Fairbairn and Sykes. There, Applegate learned how to properly use the blade, the knife, the handgun, explosives, his body, and most important his mind. He learned well, working with Fairbairn and Sykes, who had even their instructors deployed on missions worldwide, to return, and teach what worked, and did not work. Their methodologies evolved, and their efficiency is written in the annals of the clandestine services.
Applegate continued, when he returned to the United States, to build upon the knowledge and experiences of the British. His teaching encompassed the OSS, Marine Raiders, Army Rangers, and others, who worked in the shadows, without back-up or assistance, far behind enemy lines. Today's special operators stand upon the shoulders of men like Fairbairn, Sykes, and Applegate.
I heartily recommend this fine book, "Kill or Get Killed," as well as "Bullseyes Don't Shoot Back" with Michael D. Janich," "Combat Use Of The Double-Edged Fighting Knife," "The Close-combat Files Of Col. Rex Applegate," and the still germane DVD "Shooting for Keeps. Point Shooting for Close-Quarter Combat."
Additionally, I highly recommend W;E. Fairbairn's seminal works, :"Get Tough," "All-in Fighting," "Scientific Self-defense," "Defendu," and "Shooting To Live." These books have much still applicable to today's situations...
The Works of Applegate and Fairbairn are chock full of wisdom, knowledge, and proven techniques- gained by combat unto death, in wars of the shadows- from World War II, through the Cold War, and are used, even today...
Do I recommend this book, as well as those I've listed? Yes, without hesitation. The wise man or woman gleans what they will need, in order to survive, in this, an ever increasingly dangerous world... Applegate, Fairbairn, and Sykes would be teaching the same thing today, with variations upon the themes resting in their books...
Remember what these men lived- Mindset, skill set, execution...
Five out of Five Stars...

GET IT FOR THE HISTORICAL VALUE
By Alan D. Cranford
First, this is a 2007 reprint of that 1943 manual--even has a reprint of Rex Applegate's autograph from July 23, 1943. Chapter 9, "Jap Close Combat Tactics" was the best military intelligence assessment of the period and wasn't repeated in later editions.
If you want practical, get this edition: Kill Or Get Killed
Rex Applegate updated the point shooting portion in these products:
Bullseyes Don't Shoot Back
POINT SHOOTING - Battle-Proven Methods Of Combat Handgunning - with an Introduction by Col. Rex Applegate
Compared to the current US Army combatives field manual, FM 3-25.150, Applegate's "Kill or Get Killed" is simple to learn (because it exploits motions already used in normal activities) and simple to retain. FM 3-25.150 emphasized controlled aggression to CONTROL enemy soldiers and irregular fighter suspects--and is heavy on non-lethal. "Kill or Get Killed" emphasized killing the enemy as rapidly as possible when the soldier had lost his weapons--using bare hands, or improvising weapons from a stick or heavy cord. Chapter 1 is "Unarmed Offense," and the 1942 US Army hand-to-hand combat manual labeled its unarmed fighting "defense." Different mind set.
I found the chapter on disarming quaint, even though the techniques work. The reason for my bemusement is that there are three reasons why someone loses control of their loaded firearm to an enemy: failure to shoot the enemy to death, letting the enemy get too close and failure to hold onto the gun until all ammunition in the gun has been expended. When a prisoner in war fails to cooperate--SHOOT! It isn't something a law enforcement officer can do--police are into control.
The chapters on combat shooting, outdoor and indoor ranges (6, 7 and 8) are worthwhile--though Applegate did update his method of combat shooting that E. A. Sykes and W. E. Fairbairn taught to British and American special forces. Their Shooting to Live With the One Hand Gun is the source of Applegate's firearm training in Kill or Get Killed. I corresponded with Rex Applegate two decades ago because I was integrating some of his work (as much as allowed by contract) with commercial security guard training for the force protecting an American Army logistics base in the Middle East during the 1990's.
Speaking of training, when my National Guard company deployed to the Middle East for Operation Iraqi Freedom II I advertised "knife fighting classes" based on the information in Chapter 5. My first words in that class were "I lied--this isn't knife fighting. You will not give your enemy a chance to win by fighting him--you will rapidly inflict lethal injuries on him before he realizes that you have a knife." In this reprint, Applegate's ideal fighting knife was Genuine British Commando Knife W/leg Sheath, but Applegate changed his ideal to Boker Knives AF11 Applegate/Fairbairn Fixed Blade Fighting Knife with Kydex Sheath.
I read a 1943 edition first during 1976 in the base library at Kaneohe Bay Marine Corps Air Station, Hawaii, and I have been using the information since--including passing along some to Soldiers, Marines, and security personnel when appropriate.
I liked being able to trace the evolution of combatives--even when it was one man's viewpoint shifting over a period of 50 years.

Interesting.... great piece of work..... for it's time.
By JPBlackBelt
I would tend to give to give this work 3 stars based on content.
Although there are some things that are definitely still valid. Many of the riot formations shown in this book are still being taught today (at least they were in my police academy.) His demonstration on use of cover, etc. There are good things here.
However there is also a lot of outdated information as well. Most of the defensive tactics and shooting techniques are VERY outdated for example and haven't been taught for decades.
I do however give it four stars as it was a PHENOMENAL collection of information and techniques for it's time. Applegate did a GREAT job putting it all together in one source. I can't really find anyone else who had done an equally thorough job of putting it all together.
(Yes, I realize he was taught a lot of his stuff from other sources, Fairbiarn for example..... but I can't find an equally thorough piece of work from any of Applegate's predecessors.)
This really should be in the library of any self-defense enthusiast (by the way... it is fun.... I've caught several "experts" who cite this book, and it becomes apparent they didn't actually READ it. ha ha)
