This book is unlike most texts on the subject which typically overload you with information on one topic (firearms, martial arts, etc) and then skimp or totally bypass others of great importance. A very well rounded and easy to read manual that touches all bases. It is written for the average person looking to secure themselves and their loved ones from serious crime. A large portion of the book has information that is unique. While most people will not need to employ all of the techniques listed (shooting through electrical conduit to hit a bad guy outside your safe room is a bit extreme), everyone can adopt several of these easy to do measures to make their life safer. Locks, doors, alarms (both electronic and organic [gravel around window areas]) dogs, etc covered in full. An excellent book all around. You might also want to see Massad Ayoob's "Self Defense" -although I would read this book first as I think it is better. An earlier version of this was titled something like "Secure From Crime: How To Be Your Own Bodyguard", but "Conquer Crime" is an improved and expanded text.
