This is fascinating stuff. When taken into context in what is fast becoming a more dangerous world to live in I think that this book has a genuine validity. Personally I'm also finding it incredibly educational concerning subjects such as 'reasonable force' and what constitutes self-defence (the case of Tony Martin in particular has bothered me for years). The writing is tight and I have no criticism in regard to structure. Obviously you have listed this as non-fiction, have you thought what practical application this book can have - in regard to how you would sell it? As a suggestion (please ignore it), thinking about your potential target audience, you could consider injecting some humour into it, partly due to the gravity of the subject matter but also so that it may find a wider readership - which it certainly deserves. I wish you the very best of luck with this as it has certainly taught me something new today. Congrats.

This is good material, and important. Have you thought about self-publishing this one through a POD publisher such as Lulu?
