Summary

An Introduction to Celebrity Protection and Touring offers a peek behind the scenes of the close protection industry, more commonly known as the bodyguard business. More than the stereotypical bullet blocker, the modern protection specialist is a skilled practitioner who utilizes verbal judo much more than its physical counterpart. 

This audiobook, written by industry experts, Elijah Shaw and Dale June (USSS ret.), also narrows the focus, centering in on an exciting, but misunderstood, sector that involves working with celebrities ranging from actors to musicians and entering into their world of touring, filming and promotional appearances. While many may think that celebrity protection is one size fits all, nothing could be further from the truth, as you are not only dealing with the protection of the client, but the client's reputation. All this with the added pressure of the entire world looking over your shoulder, just waiting for a misstep. 

With real world advice, tactics and techniques on how to identify and defeat potential attackers, as well as covering everything from dealing with overzealous fans, to hyper-aggressive paparazzi, this audiobook offers proven solutions from two experts that have covered the gambit from the Grammy Awards to the White House.

This book is a resource for the whole security industry

Read the hard copy of this last year and now listening to the Audible version while on the road this week.
Already taken more detail from the audio version. Great read/listen for anybody in the industry. The work Mr. Shaw has put in for the benefit of the industry as a whole is immense. If you work in the security industry I challenge you to listen to this book and not find something in it that will make you better at your job.

Gems and Authenticity

I appreciate the knowledge author decided to share in the audiobook. I've recently finished listening to it. The audiobook consists all the informations I've been missing in other content I've seen or listened to. I'm getting into EP world and I believe that details contained in the book are going to be very useful in my future career. I've also enjoyed hearing Elijah Shaw as an author narrating the audiobook it makes it exceptionally authentic.

Good insight and details

Overall very good. Could have been improved with a professional narrator. Shaw is evidently very knowledgeable on his profession but not a polished narrator. I wouldn’t let this stop me recommending the audiobook at all though.
