Self Defense must-read

Though published 26 years ago, all the informaiton is as relevant as if written one year ago. There is a lot of informaiton in the book, so take it slowly so it can all sink in. As usual, Massad has done a masterful job of presenting factual information about protecting yourself from those that...

The Truth About Self Protection

This book hasn't updated in a few years, the internet isn't mentioned in it.I think that a lot of the book could be condensed into fewer pages. All and all for the price, it is a bargain. A lot of useful information.

Very Comprehensive Overview

The most comprehensive overview of "self-protection" available. Sections are broken out in a very logical arrangement; understanding the threat, passive safety measures, active measures and what to do after an incident. Not only does Ayoob cover those things you should do (buy good locks) but...

DATED BUT WORTH READING.

Ayoob explores all facets of self protection and defense. The technical parts of the book are very dated and in need of revision (not Ayoob's fault, things change). Alarm systems, cell phones, handgun design & ammo, locking devices, car alarms, etc. are all far more advanced than in the early...

Informative if a bit far-out in places

Some of the advice in this book is a bit far-out. There's a chapter on survivalism in the event of cataclysmic event (did you know you should have a warren of rabbits on hand to breed food for yourself? Never mind that your rabbits will be eating their own weight in grain) and another chapter on...
