One of my favorites is Defensive Living by Ed Lovette and Dave Spaulding. It's short but is a good primer on attitude, situational awareness, and defensive tactics. Another good one is Street Smarts, Firearms, and Personal Security by Jim Grover. Neither of these books preach firearms as the only option, so they're good for fence-sitters on the gun issue that still want to protect themselves.
The classic CCW book is In The Gravest Extreme by Massad Ayoob. It approaches tactics from a different angle. I've heard his book The Truth About Self-Protection is also good but I don't have it yet.
Some other books that have been recommended:
No Second Place Winner by Bill Jordan (gunfighting classic)
Marine Sniper: 93 Confirmed Kills (story of Carlos Hathcock)
