This book covers the fundamental strategies available for developing extra tricks in the trump suit for both declarer and the defense. Topics covered include dummy reversal, the trump coup (and how to defend against it), the en passant play, trump promotions and uppercuts on defense, the fight for trump control, and unusual positions such as the smother play and the Devil's Coup."--Back cover

"Many players go through life thinking that squeeze play is complex, esoteric, and certainly beyond their capabilities. This book demonstrates that basic squeeze play is within anyone's grasp, and that even double squeezes are not unthinkable. Finally, the authors discuss how a defender can avoid being squeezed--a topic that has rarely received much ink."--Back cover

Book Description
So you tend to be dealt very bad hands. I know exactly you feel! But, facing the facts of life and recognising that it is not your fault, you are going to have to accommodate this failing and improve your defence. It is a hard part of the game; even in international competitions, the standard of defensive play is, to put it kindly, modest. Yes, you will get plenty of reports of brilliances involving spectacular switches, deceptions, unblocks and discards of honours. But for every one of those, there are countless others in which the display would disgrace any beginners' class. I am going to assume that you are a regular club or tournament player who knows the basics of defence but who comes unstuck when it comes to situations where you have to work the hand out in detail. This book will help you to improve dramatically in this area. -- Danny Roth.

Book Description
First published in 1988, this book has been out-of-print for several years. It is a mystery and a bridge textbook all in one, and accomplishes both exceptionally well. Based on the author's own experiences, and set in and around a Manhattan bridge club, the story includes many real-life bridge characters whose names will be familiar to readers.
