At the start of the new millennium, violence continues to grow and acts of national and international terrorism abound. This new edition is an authoritative tool that extends years of knowledge and shared experience to emergency response personnel and those tasked with protection and prevention. This second edition contains a reorganization of chapters with updated and greatly expanded information. The most notable expansions are in the chapters on surveillance, counter-surveillance, surveillance photography, physical security, and the bodyguard function. In addition, the authors present unique chapters that offer the reader detailed information on bombings and bomb threats, kidnapping and hostage taking, defensive and offensive driving, communications, the sniper threat, and planning protection. Appendices offer highly informative support material in the form of a review of the techniques of the urban guerilla, a sample executive protection program, and a protection plan for a visiting government official. The book has been prepared with the greatest attention to both textual quality and production details. It is generously illustrated with photographs, drawings, and diagrams throughout to completely clarify the topics discussed. This new edition should serve well as both a learning tool and a source of reference. It will be an outstanding addition to the library of any police or security professional interested in terrorist attacks.
