5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book For Overseas Travel.
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2017
Verified Purchase
Contains very valuable information for anyone traveling overseas. Simple and logical stuff to keep a traveler or professional or govt official out of trouble and somewhat off the radar screen of criminals and hostile government.
I really appreciated the chapter on how not to look like an American but rather look like a local. Details like how you eat your food, how you use utensils, can allow bad guys to spot you. Ah! An American! I've traveled overseas a bit and No! You don't want people to immediately spot you as an American or you just might appear to become a statistic.

Great book, it definitely teaches you things you need to know in today's world and I think more people are going to need to learn the lessons in this book. I think what it teaches is great not only when traveling outside the country but also inside our boarders with the way things are changing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource!
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2018

I've now purchased x2 copies of this book, one to keep and one to gift. This is a good informational resource especially for the "limited experienced" international traveler.
I've traveled a lot in various OCONUS locations and can say with certainty, this book is spot on. What he writes about is by no means "new revelations" or rocket science, but it definitely re-enforces common sense which seems to be in short supply these days.
I highly recommend this book as a "pre-travel" must read if you're heading outside the US.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2012
Verified Purchase
This is an up to date manual for the traveling businessman who cares about their personal security. It is full of good to know, handy information.

The back of the book has a country guide for the various places you may be visiting outside the USA. There are things about each country like how to dress for business occasions and how to dress just to blend in. I recommend it even if you are not traveling out of the country. For example, there was a very interesting tidbit about how to secure your laptop computer in case it is stolen or someone tries to hack it to steal business information. I found it interesting and recommend it highly.

As usual, Amazon had a great price, packaged it well and got it here quickly.

I bought this book because it looked really cool. It was actually haha. It has realistic examples and other resources you can look up. Safety for normal people. So, do not expect highly skilled techniques, however, I think the good could be a good present for a person who is concerned about safety.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK for someone never in the military
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2012
Verified Purchase
I was expecting a lot more, but you get a lot of tech. talk and acronms but little substance. Most of what is covered I already knew from prior military travel (12 yrs), If you live in fantasy land and never worry about being on guard overseas then this book would be OK. I think most busness men and women know Americans are tragets where ever they go. Always keep your eyes open and never let anyone get too close to you. Remember trust no one.

I couldn't put down the book. It's a MUST READ in my opinion.

I won't reveal any of the contents, but I learned many practical tactics that are a MUST HAVE when traveling.

I travel more than 180 days a year. Returning home safely is paramount.

Clint, may I use some of your techniques in our Veterans Retreats? I think there is valuable information that could help out our brothers & sisters.

Continued Success.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great thought provoking material
Reviewed in Germany on April 28, 2020
Verified Purchase
I have traveled the world, both in former military career and currently with work. Never had "formal" travel training and bought this to see if anything missing. Definately recommending to other guys in team without previous experience, a lot was common sense and tallied with previous experience however plenty to make you think and consider. Several experiences resonated with me and if I can avoid rest of team learning from mistakes and learning from others experience this book will do that. Also now following Clint on youtube, some very interesting subject matter so far. 10/10

5.0 out of 5 stars Common sense in uncommon situations
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 14, 2019
Verified Purchase
This book does not cover every situation in the world, how could it? It does give you a framework to prepare and assess the hazards of foreign travel. The chapters are short and concise though a bit heavy on the jargon and acronyms. As this is written for the American traveler I put this down to unfamiliarity with American terms. If you travel and have had no formal training this book is a must. This book does a bit of scaremongering about the foreign threat but if you have seen the innocents abroad, as many tourists seem to be, they need a wake up call. Worth the read.
