Jeff Cooper 
To Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth 

Combat mind-set, trigger control, tactical residential architecture, nuclear war – these are just some of the provocative subjects explored by gun guru Jeff Cooper in this classic illustrated collection of essays. Cooper squarely faces the facts of modern life and concludes that the armed citizen is the correct answer to the armed sociopath. to that end, To Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth focuses primarily on the various aspects of shooting – technically, socially, sportively, and historically. Knowledge of personal weapons and skill in their use are necessary attributes of any man who calls himself free. And nobody can speak so eloquently and forcefully to that fact better than Jeff Cooper – one of the greatest spokesmen, writers, philosophers, and practitioners of skill-at-arms in the twentieth century.
