A Goodreads user asked Benjamin Sobieck:

Hello Ben, old by now, but one of my serious, scientific research finds: Deadly Force Encounters: What Cops Need to Know to Mentally and Physically Prepare for and Survive a Gunfight by Alexis Artwohl, Loren W. Christensen Maybe it is your gusto?

Benjamin Sobieck Hello Andre! I haven't read that one yet, but I'll add it to the list of must-reads. That whole topic is is interesting, and it shines a light on current events.

One that I'd recommend back to you is "On Killing" by Dave Grossman. It's a classic that looks at how humans overcame their natural instinct (or not) to avoid harming others during intense encounters. It doesn't glorify violence or anything, it looks at the psychology behind these things and how they apply to today's issues.
