متن يادداشت

"Designed as the issue sidearm for the World War II Commandos, the Fairbairn-Sykes dagger is the most recognizable fighting knife in the world. Its origins can be traced to lawless 1930s Shanghai and to police combat expert W.E. Fairbairn's efforts to develop the perfect fighting knife. When war came, the Shanghai Municipal Police veterans became instructors for the Allies' new Commando force and the classic Fairbairn-Sykes dagger was born. A superb fighting knife and an icon of the men who used it, the Commando dagger is now a proud emblem of special forces worldwide. Written by a close-combat expert and prolific weapons author, this book traces the history of the Fairbairn-Sykes dagger from the anarchic streets of Shanghai to the strongholds of occupied Europe."--Back cover.
