Just 2 Seconds Using Time and Space to Defeat Assassins : With a Compendium of Attacks Against at-Risk Persons

Gavin De Becker

Think of every assassination you've ever heard about. For most people, a few of these major ones come to mind: Caesar, Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Anwar Sadat, John Lennon, Israel's Prime Minister Rabin, Pakistan's Benazir Bhutto. From start to finish, all of these attacks combined took place in less than one minute. And the hundreds of attacks studied for this book, all of them combined, took place in less than a half-hour. Those thirty minutes, surely the most influential in world history, offer important insights that can help today's protectors defeat tomorrow's attackers. This 650-Page Book Contains: An original work of new insights arising from ten years of research; The Five Essential Lessons for protectors; The Compendium - 400 pages of summarized attacks, near attacks, and incidents against at-risk persons all over the world from 1960-2007, more than 1400 entries; and the Appendices - More than 100 pages of additional material and resources.
