This is such an amazing book. I would say, even if you never have to write a single fight scene in your novel, if you're a writer, you should still read it. I found the things it says to take into account for fights are things you should just take into account for everything, even if here they are applied to the specifics of a fight.
Although somewhat briefly, it covers all the necessary basics from hand to hand combat, weapons, psychological warfare; through how not only size and knowledge affect how you fight, but also culture, location, weather, etc; up to some basic medical and law knowledge (related to death, injuries and fights, of course).
For such a short book, it's very comprehensive and simple to understand, and I was quite impressed.
Highly recommend it! It's one of those books that needs to be in every writer's reference shelves.
