Although military operations against terrorist forces often grab the headlines, the men and women who protect celebrities and government, military, and business leaders from assassination or kidnapping are also in the front line in the war against extortion and terrorism. Ready and prepared to place their bodies between their employers and a bullet, bodyguards must be able to blend into the background around their charges, yet be ready to spring into action instantly to counter an attack.

Based on techniques of the U.S. Secret Service, U.S. State Department Security, the Special Air Service, the Royal Corps of Military Police, the Metropolitan Police, the KGB and its successor the FSB, France’s GSPR, and other protective units around the world, the Bodyguard Manual details the steps a protective team takes to prevent attack as well as the tactics employed when it is necessary to counter one.
