237:. I admit my view for deletion is founded to some degree on the nature of the present article. Blatant promotionalism like this should be removed, and then if really justified a proper article written, but things need to be kept in proportion. Not every book that may technically meet NBOOK needs a separate article: sometimes a suitable coverage in the article on the author is more appropriate, or even simply justified as our reaction to promotional writing, which should not be rewarded.
256:. Freely admitting that this is a weak argument for keep, I'm going to throw it out there. Given the specialized nature of the book, I wouldn't expect to find it widely reviewed in mainstream media channels. The target audience doesn't go to the NY Times to find a book on the psychology of combat, they go to AR15.com or PoliceOne. That said, I did find some relevant occurrences. This multipage review

I'll go with
Niteshift36's sources here. They are not overwhelming as mentioned but given the specialist nature of the topic, and the book appears to be recommended and in use by professionals don't see a compelling reason to delete. --
225:. I don't think this article is acceptable, nor is a full article necessary. A summary as extended as this one, of a non-fiction book that is anything short of famous, is usually considered as promotional for the authors ideas. See also
