 Terrific source February 25, 2004
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am purchasing an additional 3 copies for my staff. I found this book to be very helpful and certainly provided a lot of practical information. Especially useful was the section on medical emergencies overseas. Our company's health plan does cover medical needs abroad but many of our employees declined in-house coverage because their spouses had covered them with other policies. Many of those folks were not covered when they traveled. Also, we got into the habit of registering with the local embassies when we traveled to problematic regions. This was something we never considered before but was helpful. The embassy staff gave us good recommendations as far as security was concerned and even provided some additional information as to good places to eat, visit and shop.Some of the information was too detailed. As a business traveler I didn't need to know that much about counter-surveillance and body armor. Interesting though not helpful to me personally. Overall a good source.

I am buying several more copies for my staff. I found this information to be enormously useful. In particular, the information on overseas planning for medical emergencies was great. Also, the suggestion that we check in with the local embassy upon arrival overseas was something I had never done before. The embassy staff was great and not only gave us some valuable information but also gave us additional advice on places to stay and visit ect.Some of the information was unecessary. I am a corporate traveler and really only needed to know the basics. Some of the book is a bit too detailed, especially the parts on counter-surveillance and body armor. Overall, very helpful and already made a difference.

Originally, I bought this book with my business in mind. I felt that we really needed to keep abreast of the latest techniques in security. Living in a nice, quiet community, I didn't have too much concern about my personal security. Boy, did this book open my eyes! I highly recommend this book for everyone---particularly businesses of all sizes. At home or abroad, especially in this day and age, we need to be alert. You will be as surprised as I was to discover all the risks that are out there to your company, yourself and your family. The authors have thought of everything; certainly things that the average person would surely overlook. Don't get caught off guard. Arm yourself with the latest ideas in security and anti-terrorism. Buy this book! You won't be sorry.
