Shooting To Live With The One-Hand Gun (2007) By William Ewart Fairbairn
 
Shooting to Live describes methods developed and practiced during an eventful quarter of a century and adopted by numerous police organisations in the Far East and elsewhere. It covers everything from the purpose of the pistol, to selection, training, advanced methods and more!
 
This book was the first time that fighting with firearms was clearly and explicitly disassociated from classical target/range shooting. The proven techniques displayed have spawned most modern pistol techniques because of their simplicity and effectiveness. It is written as an instruction to police forces in the methods of shooting (reflexive/instinctive) and training (realistic/challenging) that the author developed over two decades active service in Shanghai.
 
W.E. Fairbairn taught unarmed combat to the famed British Commandos and the U.S. armed forces during World War II. Before the war he served as assistant commissioner of the Shanghai Police Force. He was the inventor of the Fairbairn Commando Knife and the author of the classics Get Tough and Shooting to Live.
