Streetsweepers: The Complete Book of Combat Shotguns

Although first published in 1987, the book is a timeless classic for anyone wanting to know about shotguns for urban warfare (i.e. home defense). It covers the history of offensive and defensive use of shotguns, ammunition, tactics, indoor combat and a host of other related subjects. This is not just another one of those cheap throwaway books with lots of pictures and model descriptions. The text is substantive, well written and authoritative. It's just about everything you want to know about non-hunting uses for shotguns (but were afraid to ask).
