I think this book is a much needed practical guide for the Close Protection Manager. It gives a straight forward insight into the world of a Close Protector. Not only is it a valuable guide for the more experienced Close Protector who wants to get involved in Management but it also gives an insight in the industry for the "would be" Protector.This book is recommended to be used in training.

I found this book very useful and helpful,as a security manager tasked with taking on and managing Close Protectors, it gave me a very unique insight into the training and psyche of a protector. I would say a must read for anyone comtemplating a career in the field.
Well Done Mr Schneider, I hope you have a follow up in store for us!!

I bought the book because it offered "Proven Tactics and Dynamic Strategies for Protective Practices Success". While it contains recommendations based on the analysis of an experienced operator I couldn't find anything in the book that resembles proven tactics or dynamic strategies.

The worth of the book can be illustrated by just one of its many bold and italicized conclusions:

"When it comes to defending the life of a Principal against violent attack, a CPO must not only have the capability to effectively defend him/herself but also the Principal that he/she is protecting."

Didn't need to pay $28 for information that never really passed the above level of uselessness.

Gavin De Becker's Just 2 Seconds provides very well researched tactics/strategies for preventing assassinations. Its well worth the money unlike Schneider's Beyond the Bodyguard.

If you're reading this review Mr Schneider I wouldn't mind a refund thanks.
