I have read this book, and it is a good one. It is not psychobabble.
I would not call
On Killing a must read, but instead a
should read. If a person has never taken a life, they have about as much knowledge on the subject as a virgin has on sex. What Grossman has done with
On Killing is what
Masters & Johnson did with
Human Sexual Response. Grossman takes one of the last taboos and dispells many long standing misconceptions.
The decision to wear a gun is the recognition that you might some day have to use it. Grossman's book prepares you for that moment in an honest, unflinching manner that has not been equaled.
