The\u003cbr\u003e deals looked similar (in some cases very similar) but an entirely different\u003cbr\u003e line of play was necessary to make each of the contracts. The book was\u003cbr\u003e well received and won the American Bridge Teachers' Association 'Book\u003cbr\u003e of the Year' award.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis follow-up volume uses exactly the same approach, but addresses\u003cbr\u003e defense rather than declarer play. Only by clearly understanding the\u003cbr\u003e defensive techniques involved will you be able to defeat such contracts\u003cbr\u003e when you encounter them at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBird, David:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - DAVID BIRD has written 138 bridge books, a record, and is an eight-time winner of the American Bridge Teachers' Association 'Book of the Year'.
