This guy is super-interesing. I've got his 2 books that he mentions here, and I am reading The Gift of Fear
now. Very engaging writing style and very informative.

I read The Gift of Fear last winter, and made my daughter read it as well. Highly recommended.
I have read a few books by Gavin, very good information.
If you liked his first book and the information you should check out his new book. JUST 2 SECONDS. I got an advance copy at www.just2seconds.org
I strongly recommend giving Mr. de Becker's latest work, Just 2 Seconds a read. It's an informative guide for protectors as well as an historical resource for attacks on public figures throughout the world.
