Bodyguard: A guide to VIP protection.,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bodyguard : A Guide to VIP Protection (Paperback)
If you have modest experience in the military or law enforcement, do not buy this book. If you are looking for a work that addresses the intricacies of security tactics and training, this is not the book for you. If you have absolutely no experience with tactics and weapons this may be useful to you. The author does offer a comprehensive look at the bodyguard profession, but it is so broad and all encompassing that is covers nothing in detail and is of little use to the experienced soldier/law enforcement professional. What is the old axiom? If you try and defend everything, you defend nothing? The author spends a great deal of space and effort describing the flaws in many so-called bodyguards such as over drinking, extra-marital affairs, and conflicts of personal interests. Ironically, I found his personal vignettes about the cast of unprofessional, immature, brain dead fellow bodyguards he has worked with most entertaining; although this had nothing to do with the reason I purchased this book. The bottom line is, if you have been a soldier or police officer for more than a day, this book offers you little. If you are a librarian or an insurance salesman you might find it informative. In the end, you'll have to read this work and form your own opinion.

Well worth the read,

This review is from: Bodyguard : A Guide to VIP Protection (Paperback)
This book is an eye opener for those who are in the world of executive protection. For the beginner it puts you on the right path, included with the things to do and not to do. Congrats to the author.A fellow specialist Scott, EPS,CPS

The one to have,
By Sigma (Brussels, Belgium) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bodyguard : A Guide to VIP Protection (Paperback)
Working in the field of high level diplomatic security I can state this is clearly the best book on vip protection to date, this thought of mine is shared by colleagues and instructors around this is the book to start and to end with, what you need to know is in this book, the rest you will only get out of experience
