I don't know if you have seen this, but a YouTube channel calling itself the Jeff Cooper Legacy Foundation has published a couple videos that are from a 1987 video tape series called "Defensive Pistolcraft" which was split into 4 volumes. Each of the YouTube videos is about an hour and 48 minutes long. I haven't had time to watch them yet (they were only posted a couple days ago) but it looks like the first video has Volumes 1 & 2 and the second video has Volumes 3 & 4.

After seeing recent mention of free downloads of a Jeff Cooper book, I decided to re-read "To Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth." A collection of short stories on many subjects, it shows what an excellent author Jeff Cooper was. He was a pre WWII educated classic liberal - well educated in a diverse range of subjects - who graduated from Stanford prior to the war. He served in the Marines in the Pacific. Then he traveled about much of the world. He writes with a straightforward style that is simple and complete. His writing is a bit jingoistic, which serves as a good antidote to today's world. The book is highly recommended.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. Thanks for mentioning this. I’ll have to track down a copy.
