Some names stand out and speak for themselves, Gunsite, Gerber, Colt Andy Stanford, etc. Mr Stanford has done it again. Fight at Night is one of the best texts written on the subject of night fighting. It's very detailed and comprehensive. Not only are the topics of Firearms covered, but also how to use knives, flashlights, and your body as a weapon in the dark.
After a late night "can't put it down" reading of this book, I have to say that if you aren't using the dark to your advantage, you are seriously handicapping yourself! With a little knowledge, practice and preparation, you need never fear the dark again, in fact, you will become one of those things that goes "Bump in the night".
Chapters include:
Human Factors
Night Vision Equipment
Laser Aimers, Tritium Sights and Optical sights
Flashlights, Light Mounts, and Spotlights
Additional Tools
Techniques With Flashlight and Firearm
Hand-to-Hand in Low Light
Low-Light Firearms and Force-on-Force Training
The Down Side:
Some of the devices covered are expensive, however, they are top quality, and low tech tips and techniques are covered too. While some of the items discussed are high dollar, if you plan to have night encounters (and we SHOULD plan on it) they are well worth the investment.
Would WE Buy It?:
YES! Andy uses Quality equipment and his experience is obvious and well known. This isn't a cheap "I need the money" book, it is well written, professional and detailed.
Technical Specs:
Soft Cover, 9 chapters and 3 appendices (Covering nicad care, resources, and ITT night vision selection guide), 205 pages
