First sentence: The lessons shared in this book can help put you at ease and keep you safe, whether you are traveling around the globe or around the corner.

Description: While Escape the Wolf is lengthy, it is well structured and easy to follow. The book has three parts, starting with personal safety. The concepts of total awareness, practical travel, observation, decision-making, threats, and preparation are detailed in an easy-to-read format. Part two looks at the worst case scenario: the terrorism threat—but the perspective is a 72-page breakdown of the Al Qaeda Manual, the thought being that it never hurts to peek at the other side’s playbook before the game so that you can work on your own plans.
Notes: 3rd edition.
