3.0 out of 5 stars An opinionated,fairly complete look at the subject
The author does a fairly good job of describing the bodyguarding activity,covering basic security principles .The weapons coverage is very good,pointing out the effective and well proven tools of the trade. The book could use more information on fitness, medic first aid and radio communications.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fine peice of work, without the usual "flashy" stuff!, November 30, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Bodyguarding: A Complete Manual (Paperback)
I have been in the Close Protection field for quite some time now, and I have read something like 8-10 different "manuals". But this one, I picked out as my primary reference-book, when I started training NATO soldiers in CP work!. It's a great book on the subject, and is highly recommended by us!. Henrik Bramsborg, Dir. Scandinavian Bodyguard Services

5.0 out of 5 stars Retired Deputy US Marshall commends author on accuracy!, March 5, 2002
By 
"ky_southernbelle" (KainTuck (Ohio Valley Boat People)) - See all my reviews
Technique, tools, strategy, training, deployment . . . absolutely accurate and on point.
Well researched, precisely compiled and clearly written.
If this was a road map to Denver . . . you'd be there by now.
Look forward to your next manuscript about the illustrious field of protecting the upper echelon.

This review is from: Bodyguarding (Paperback)
This is a practical manual regarding dignitary protection, free of the flash and slash that we sometimes find in books of this nature. This book discusses both techniques and equipment, presenting a balanced view of executive protection.
