Caught this site on a web search of public protection and would just like to agree with those above citing Mr. de Becker for his comprehensive work in Just 2 Seconds. As a protector of public figures I have great respect for Gavin and his firm of professionals. This latest volume of insight from his years of experience should be on the shelf of anyone serious in improving their service to their clients.

For anyone interested in executive protection, you definitely should add "Just 2 Seconds" among your current sources of information on the subject. This book contains information dating back to the 1835 assassination attempt on President Andrew Jackson, to the present day. Everything from failed assassinations, successful assassinations, and much more can be found in "Just 2 Seconds". It is an excellent source of information on tactics, and tools of the trade. If you are serious about executive protection, or even if you are just curious about the job, you definitely should get this book.

The "Gift of Fear" in the title refers to the intuitive ability of human beings that allows them to detect danger quickly, without conscious, logical thought. There's some good stuff in the book about how to recognize intuition, and also (in the very last chapter) how to distinguish real fear of real dangers from worry about hypothetical dangers. If you enjoyed reading The "Gift Of Fear" i recomend reading Gavin De Beckers new book " Just 2 Seconds". I was intrigued by the title “Just 2 Seconds” and having read DeBecker's "Gift of Fear" couldn't wait to read his insights on this fascinating subject. "Just 2 Seconds" did not disappoint. Within a few sentences, I found myself hooked. This book provides numerous insights on protecting public figures. I've recommended this book to many friends and each has agreed with my assessment. If you're in the protection, security, or law enforcement business, this book is a MUST HAVE! Gavin de Becker, Tom Taylor and Jeff Marquart understand the topic and present the material in a way that the reader can easily understand and
