About the Book :
Although military operations against terrorist forces often
grab the headlines, the men and women who protect celebrities and government,
military and business leaders from assassination or kidnapping are also in the
frontline in the war against extortion and terrorism. Ready and prepared to
place their body between their employer and a bullet, the bodyguard must be
able to blend into the background, yet be ready to spring into action instantly
to counter an attack.
Based on techniques of the US Secret Service, US State Department Security, the
Special Air Service, the Royal Corps of Military Police, the Metropolitan
Police, the KGB and its successor the FSB, France’s GSPR, and other protective
unites around the world, the Bodyguard Manual details the steps a protective
team takes to prevent attack, as well as the tactics that are employed when it
is necessary to counter an attack. From providing security aboard in Orient
Express or the Queen Elizabeth II, to protecting a high-ranking officer in
combat, the Bodyguard Manual allows the reader to ‘stand post’ with the
professional bodyguard.
This revised edition brings the book completely up to date, covering
developments in the field since first publication.
