5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most IMPORTANT books you can ever read!, 16 July 1998
By A Customer
I can say enough good things about this book. It is absolute must reading. I've taught martial arts for a number of years, and the one thing that has always bothered me is- many of the techniques and skills taught have nothing to do with surviving real life violence. Teaching a woman to punch will not save her from a rapist or carjacker. Strong stresses over and over again how important the will to survive is. He explains that your goal in any violent situation is to ESCAPE that situation with your life. Many systems of martial arts teach the idea or concept of "defeating" the attacker. This is likely the worst mistake you could ever make. It locks you into a struggle with him, it cuts down your chance to escape, you must prevail or perish. A more sensible choice is to attack savagely to buy yourself some room so that you can escape. Everything Strong says is well thought out and logical. He graphically shows what REALLY happens to victims of crime. You need t! ! his information. Reading this book could save you or your family's life. Get it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent practical advice on how to avoid/handle violence, 27 Aug 2002
By A Customer
Disagree strongly with reviewer who said:

"there's not a lot of PRACTICAL, REALISTIC instruction on what to do if you're in a surprise life or death situation."

There is advice on exactly that. If you attacked Strong has a survival strategy. For example, he has an entire chapter on what to do if your forced into a car or you are carjacked.

This is as well as advice on how to avoid these situations.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last! How to survive what you hoped to avoid., 25 Jan 1999
By A Customer
I couldn't put this one down (although I didn't make the mistake of reading it before bed more than once!). I work in a district attorney's office, and everything Strong says is right on. Although there's a lot of information available on how to avoid becoming a victim, there's not a lot of PRACTICAL, REALISTIC instruction on what to do if you're in a surprise life or death situation. This book is scary, inspiring, and a life saver. Our victim witness division is getting my copy next and I'm buying three more: one for each of my kids, and a loaner for the other people I care about.
