The Shinobi Survival Manual: A SERE manual for the mosern ninja.

 SERE school is a classified military school that is a requirement for Special Operations Units, fighter, bomber and spy plane pilots, and certain other groups. The CIA may have something similar for their people or they may use the military SERE school. 

SERE stands for Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape. Sounds pretty ninja right? Well I explain to the reader all the core principles of how a ninja infiltrator would operate behind enemy lines, including the resistance part going over tracking and counter tracking, how to escape handcuffs and shackles, primitive and historical ninjutsu methods of survival, along with modern methods of cache supplies. How search patterns work and how to beat them. 

I recently pulled it when I realized that I didn't include the information on evasive driving like how to counter the pit maneuver and the rolling road block. This book contains the Black Dragon Ninja's EDC kit; every day carry kit and how to use it. 

Survival is more than a ninjutsu practitioner's ability to use boy scout level field craft or more advanced bush craft. In a way it is all of that and more. While I am adding to what I already wrote, I will also update Army of Shadows and the Shadow Hunter Manual for Black Dragon Ninjitsu Sniper Program (good thing that the Trump Sniper never read it), as I also address how to hide from night vision and thermal devices. 

Black Dragon Ninjitsu is not a martial art but, a strategic combat survival system that contains elements of martial arts and battlefield strategies and tactics both historical and modern. The ninja is not a member of the now non-existent warrior caste trained in skirmish and guerrilla tactics, though that statement is historically accurate. Nor is the ninja a practitioner of Japanese jujutsu in a black gi. The ninja is an archetype of the elite warrior-assassin-spy who uses low tech, no tech and even 21st Century high-tech tools for a single purpose; to serve the highest standard of self-discipline, self-improvement, self-actualization, and Self-sacrifice. 

That last line may appear selfish, but it is the self that puts everything into motion. It is the self, the individual who begins training and who keeps training and who seeks to improve their training and their skills adding more tools to their proverbial toolbox. So self-discipline is the first step in learning to control the desires and emotions of the individual to resist the trapping of their enemies, including the worst enemy of all their self. Self-improvement is built on the foundation of self-discipline and, self-actualization is the purpose of training; to put training and self-improvement into action and, becoming a hidden influence upon the world around the individual. Finally, comes Self-sacrifice; the willingness to work in service to a higher goal beyond the self. The Individual must be willing to die for what they believe in, but not just die; die in a way that serves and promotes that higher idea. Because whatever you are willing to die for, you must also be willing to live for it too...

Thus, all the self-empowerment is thrown away as you are living and dying for something greater than yourself. In this way, your life and your training becomes an act of selflessness.

The Assassin Trilogy: Three Books You Don't Want to Read...

Shadow Warrior Press covers many titles, ranging from books on martial arts, survivalism & paramilitary skills & tactics. Originally written for my old Publishing House now defunct Witch-Hunter Publishing comes three books of unique subject matter Assassin: The Art & Science of Killing is an Assassination theme book dealing with combat tactics for the individual. This book was written not as a training manual for assassins but as tool for teaching Law Enforcement & Security Personnel. The Book poses as an instruction manual covering topics like camouflage, disguise, rifle & pistol marksmanship, hand to hand combat, knife fighting, poisons, booby traps and explosives... As well as philosophy and training for an individual.

If a police officer, soldier or security specialist where to use this book as intended it would allow them to get a generalized idea of the mind set & skills used by mafia hitmen, terrorists & similar. For the individual "lone wolf" survivalist it is a documentary of individual combat tactics for the common civilian it is example of why they need to be trained in first-aid, firearms & self-defense techniques to protect themselves from the threat of harm by elite criminals and terrorists.

The second book in the series is In the Shadows: The Art of Espionage, uses Assassin to explain the basic combat tactics and addresses the tactics and methods of the spy,  including how to improvise equipment in the field ranging from "radio bugs," to improvised firearms & "night vision glasses", develop cryptography methods and keys, plus covert hand and arm signals as well as pass along secret information in public.

Finally, these books come together to address the threat of terrorism with Cloak & Dagger: A Study of Modern Terrorism this book explains many of the improvised weapons used by terrorists such as a breakdown of the rockets used by Hezbollah to attack Israel, designs for common Improvised Explosive Devises, Demolition methods used by Terrorists, False Flag Operations & the differences between Terrorists and Guerrillas, as well as discussing the limitations of civilian and law enforcement training compared to that of the guerrilla insurgent or terrorist, and compared to the training of professional soldiers.

These three books offer an inside look into Guerrilla, Terrorist & Insurgent methodologies that serve to help anyone civilian, law enforcement or military to have an in side look into the world of Counter-Terrorism like no other books may provide, because these books reveal the skills and methodologies from an inside looking out view. Many of these same skills can be acquire from other more legitimate sources such as tactical schools, survival schools and so on. Rather then preach an SOP to the reader they allow the reader an inside view to guide them to understanding the reasoning behind much of the SOPs used by police, military and security personnel.
