Great book for those seeking more information on what this industry is about and working in it. Very no-nonsense, well laid out and written, and containing as much information as possible. Kevin Horak sticks to the subject and provides examples of scenarios from his own experience with none of the bragging often seen in other books of this nature. Well recommended.

Format:Paperback
Although this book is aimed at those considering a career in Close Protection, I have found it valuable working in another area of the security industry. Kevin Horak writes with a depth of details and facts that make this book an essential purchase for anyone considering a career move and wanting to know exactly what is required and what you should expect in the industry. I would not hesitate to recommend this book to anyone.
