Summary
Stimulating the reader to review and reevaluate traditional strategies and develop independent and adaptable approaches to the ever-present and unpredictable threat of attack, Introduction to Executive Protection, Second Edition goes a step beyond the basic foundational concepts of the original. Exploring the psychology, philosophy, and professionalism of the modern close personal protection agent, the author discusses the successes, failures, improvements, and adaptations of veterans in the field.
