This account of the changes in the world of VIP protection shows how national elite forces tackled the steep learning curve necessary to combat the new threat, how specific dedicated units had to be constructed even by these groups, and why an industry of commercial bodyguard agencies has come to prominence to serve businessmen, show-business personalities and other threatened individuals.
When the leader of Israel, the most security conscious of nations, can be gunned down by one of his own countrymen it is clear that vigilance and expertise is not a guarantee. The lone gunman or committed group can still get too close to an intended victim; often the last line of defence can only be another human being, a bodyguard, one who will stand in the line of fire.
The bodyguard is destined to remain part of the modern world but it takes a book such as this for us to truly understand his work.
