Summary: Solid, but not very detailed
Review: This is the second book by Gabe Suarez, who has become a leading figure in realm of defensive shooting. The backround Suarez has in law enforcement is very visible in the book, more so than is his newer books. But then, the book is aimed more towards law enforcement agencies than private citizens.The book is intermediate level. It does cover the basics, like different firing positions, and principles of marksmanship, but it does not treat the subjects in enough detail to enable its use as basic textbook. On the other hand, there is not much of the advanced stuff, either. Major portion of the book is devoted to different shooting positions, carry and ready positions and deploying the rifle from sling-arms. Each of the subjects are handled with aid of very good and clear photographs. Although there is not very much text in these chapters, the pictures make it easy to understand what Suarez is teaching. There is also some stiff on zeroing the rifle, low light operations, shooting on the move, reloading and clearing malfunctions, and so on. The gun-specific techniques are explained for AR-15, because it is the most common rifle in police use, but for the most part the techniques presented are not gun-specific. To sum it up, this is a good but not very detailed study on use of rifle in police operations. It's very easy to read and the techniques presented seem very realistic. The main drawback is the lack of detail.

Summary: Straight Forward
Review: Whether or not you agree with Suarez's political veiws, this book is nothing more than a technical manual on how to kill human beings with a 5.56mm carbine. Whether you do it for your country, in self defense or as a leisure time activity is the reader's own business.
