Gideon,
Not sure if any one book is a definitive work - you probably think same and so want a few.
I tend to read stuff and ''take'' out what I find useful, which may mean that parts of some books are less than useful.
Brian S. Williams' book "Welcome to the Real World'' is one I got quite recently and have yet to finish it - I am on about 3 books at once right now! My impression tho is that this is a very handy book, in particular for those new to carry. Gives much info and food for thought.
Then too I think it is worth reading ''Into the Kill Zone'' by David Klinger - a cop's writings on the deadly force issue.
I also have but have not read it much yet - ''Ragnars Urban Survival" - not really a carry book but it does have some handy ideas for coping in emergencies etc - bit ''survivalist'' perhaps.
Anyways - the first two - I do suggest you consider. Some may also suggest one of Mas' Ayoob's books.
