PROVIDING EXECUTIVE PROTECTION – Volume II

Edited by Dr. Richard W. Kobetz

A true sequel to the highly acclaimed Providing Executive Protection this second volume goes deep into a rich soil of knowledge tilled and worked over by a small band of dedicated professionals.  Its thoroughness is a response to the increase in domestic crime and worldwide terrorism which have created the need for updated and improved protective services. 

The watchword, for those who provide protective services is vigilance.  The personal protection specialist can never afford to rest upon his or her laurels.  An impeccable, perofessional career, attested by the years, can be destroyed in a heartbeat by a moment’s inattention, or the cruel, inexorable swiftness of the assassin’s bullet, bomb, or slashing blade.  Over the years, personal protection specialists have relied on the need to expect the unexpected; it is the kinetic energy by which the profession of protection is driven.  This is a stressful business and that subject finds, in a practical way, further insightful expression in these pages.

This is a book for those who need protection, those who manage protective services, and those who provide or wish to provide personal protection

Providing Executive Protection is an anthology consisting of 26 chapters by different authors.
