Reviews

[T]his excellent book provides an informed and detailed summary of the efforts made over the last century to evolve RCAs which are effective but do not (usually) cause permanent impairment or death. This is an authoritative collection of contributions from those who are closely associated with riot control agent use, evaluation and research. - BTS Newsletter
