Secerts of VIP Protection World

I m the chief of the security details division of Turkish Presidential Protection Department. I bought this book from Washington D.C. during the Turkish President's visit to USA for NATO Summit in 1999. This book has so many interesting details and stories about VIP Protection World. I learned to much (Especially about Secret Service). There are very educative details about Secret Service and I think it will give very important lessons to other countries Protection Teams.I recommend this book to everybody especially who want to learn what is real VIP Protection.By this chance I would like to thank Richard O'Connor for this beatiful book.SincerelyHasan ALSANCAKInspectorTurkish Presidential Protection Department

Information packed book for the real professional.

A book packed with detail on the world of close protection and sure to create much debate. The author takes an independent view and approache's the subject with a view of been impartial. He certainly achieved his objective and I was unable to put the book down and unfortunately finished reading it in three days. His ability of providing information never published before but also using that information so as to give the reader a real view of life as a bodyguard is excellent. If you have ever been interested in the world of close protection or just interested in how VIP's use bodyguards this ais a must get book.
