Summary: This is a MUST read
Review: I teach civilian Self-Defense. I have already purchased 6 copies of this book and gave them to fellow instructors and students.
This book is a no nonsense how-to-guide on surviving a violent attack, heaven forbid you have to. Equally as important he gives simple techniques on how to avoid becoming a victum of a violent attack.
His techniques are simple and instinctual within all of us. We have, for too long, been taught to listen to our assailants, do as they say and we won't get hurt. That is wrong headed and wrong advise. Mr. Strong with decades of police experience tells why and has scenario after scenario of survivors stories. This should be required reading material for all, especially women.

Summary: Strong advise on crime survival
Review: This book is not about preventing crime, it's surviving a violent crime. Strong does not concentrate on how to avoid being a victim, instead he tells how to survive the confrontation when you became one. This makes sense, since he states that violence is becaming more and more random and you can became a victim, no matter what you do. There is also some advise on avoiding crime, but the emphasis is not on that issue.The book is filled with stories from real life. The stories - no matter how grim - are interesting to read, and the actions of the victims is analyzed after the story. You learn, what the victims did wrong, and what they did right. This makes the book interesting to read, and the "hard text" is also easy to read. The principles Strong advocates are very simple and easy to remember, even during a crisis. On some occasions his advise seems somewhat farfetched, but on the other hand, it's better be prepared before something bad happens. At the end of the book, Strong gives his formula of making a safer future. His formula is simply putting the criminals behind bars, and keeping them there. This is a very important book; everyone should read it. It's really sad that we need books like this, but it's a realistic possibility that you can become a victim. If that happens, this book may hold the answers to your survival.

Summary: Best Book Of it's Kind!
Review: This is the best book of it's kind on the market today. There are a few other related titles that do provide some solid information but none of them compare to this book. If you were to buy only one such book in your lifetime, I would suggest that you purchase this one. You won't be disappointed. It may just save your life!
