"The bad guy is choking you." "You're being strangled." In reality the attack began a long time before the assault began.Non consensual violence begins with SELECTION of the victim. Whether it's which car do I break into, which victim to rape, or whose pocket to pick, something or someone has to be chosen. The book will teach you how to reduce your risk to almost zero at ever being picked in the first place.Next comes ISOLATION. Crimes mostly happen on the periphery of public events or in parking lots or homes, away from prying eyes and cameras. The book will teach you how to run counter-surveillance and develop your situational awareness so you'll know in advance you're being set up.After the bad guy picks his intended victim and isolates them there will be a distraction phase consisting of some VERBAL patter. Verbal aggression is also always present in brewing attacks in bars. "What are you looking at?" "You were looking at my girlfriend" If you can say something to make the situation worse then you can learn how to say something that just might make the situation better. Again, the answers to that and more are in the book.If you can learn how to master those first 3 phases of a criminal attack then you rarely need to get in to the physical assault itself. As Sun Tzu said " The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." Buy it, read it, apply it and be safer.
