This book is articulate and well written, and primarily addresses the mindset and "psychology" of Professional Protective Service Agents, and the critical though processes required in the performance of such duties. It does NOT cover any physical tactics, formations, weapons. It does give real world advice and Information about the various "Executive Protection" or "Bodyguard" schools or academy's, many of which are "tactical bling" , and addresses the reality of securing legitimate employment in this field. I'm retired from 25+ years in the public/private/military LE and Security sectors and like to keep up with with it. I was pleased with what the book was actually about. Trying to be objective, the author could have gone into much more detail about professional education and credentials/certifications. I already have my degrees and several certifications, But more info on that would have been nice for those just starting out. Though he does give some generic, basic information. It's a "Must Read" for those who understand that the profession is more than the "glitz and glamour" too often mis-portrayed by TV and the "internet".
