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.

No bells or whistles, just the plain, simple stuff to get you started on the road to becoming a good defender. In eight easy lessons, this book coves the things you really need to know: opening leads and signaling against notrump and suit contracts, second and third-hand Play, the Rule of Eleven, discards, and basic strategy. Quizzes and example hands make the whole process of learning both fun and productive. Praise for Bill Treble's 'Getting into the Bidding', An excellent intermediate-level book covering contested auctions. The focus is on providing a foundation for choosing and using methods - which are available, which are popular, and what are the trade-offs among them. The Bridge World Book jacket.
