The text of this edition is basically that of the first with some additional sentences and paragraphs rather than a complete rewrite. Deals with the practicalities of combat and what to do afterwards in physiological and psychological terms. Makes extensive use of examples and anecdotes to explain and reinforce points being made. The book is arranged in four sections: Physiology of combat: the anatomy of the human body in battle; Perceptual distortions in combat: an latered state of consciousness; the call to combat: where do we get such men?; the price of combat: after the smoke clears. Dave Grossman is a retired Lt Col US Army Ranger and West Point professor.
