What stands out:

For students of personal protection, this volume serves as a bridge between physical conditioning and strategic thinking. It encourages a proactive approach to safety, where the goal is always the preservation of life and the avoidance of unnecessary conflict.

McCann summarizes the philosophy of Volume 5 best:

He also gives hard advice about what to say to police, how to handle adrenaline shakes, and why you must never stay at the scene of a defensive incident if you are in danger.
