"Andy Lightfoot brings a wealth of information that can aid in avoiding, and surviving, terrorism." -Matt Graham, author of Epic Survival and star of Discovery Channel's Dual Survival "For both frequent and occasional travelers in today's increasingly threatening world, this all-encompassing guide will enhance your travel safety and enjoyment. Pack this guide with all your travel essentials. It encompasses all the pertinent advice and recommendations you will need." -Jim Hawes, former Navy SEAL officer "The threat of terrorism is now a part of our lives, especially if we travel. The Terrorism Survival Guide gives the reader valuable information as to how prepare for, and react to, terrorism if ever his travel locates him in the wrong place at the wrong time." -J. Wayne Fears, author of The Pocket Outdoor Survival Guide "It's clear to everyone that overseas travel is not now what it was even a few years back. But despite all the angst involved in facing the new challenges and uncertainties, there's nothing sweaty-palmed or hysterical about Lightbody's handbook, just a calm, near exhaustive, clearly written, superbly organized guide for today's traveler. It's just the thing, whether your globe-trotting is for pleasure or for profit." -Stephen Brennan, author of Bugles, Boots and Saddles: Exploits of the U. S. Cavalry and Survival Skills of the Native Americans "The Terrorism Survival Guide is an essential read for the traveler in his or her journeys both foreign and domestic. Having found myself in the wrong place at the wrong time in more than one country over the past decade I find the information realistic and valuable. I cannot offer higher praise." -Robert K. Campbell, author of A Prepper's Guide to Rifles "The Terrorism Survival Guide is the kind of book I would give my own kids as they head out from college to see the world and face real life. It's concise, easy to read, practical, and full of specific answers to real questions. Great stuff worth every penny." -David Black, author of What to Do When the Shit Hits the Fan "Being a traveler in today's world begs preparation the likes of which could be the protocol of a secret agent. Going well beyond staging the vacant home and how to pack, Lightbody offers hard-to-find overseas resources for when trouble strikes. When it comes to planning a trip, don't be a beginner. Get this book!" -Roger Eckstine, author of Shooter's Bible Guide to Home Defense "Never in the history of humankind has our world been so uncertain, so absolutely unpredictable. The more than one thousand people injured or killed in the first bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City never suspected the attack. Of the six thousand commuters who were casualties of the Sarin nerve gas attack on a crowded Tokyo subway in 1995, not one of them saw it coming. The three thousand people who died in the September 11, 2001 attack that destroyed the World Trade Center were like wise unawares. The countenances of terrorism are the faces of cowards, people who are by themselves insignificant to the operation of the world; but it's this very facelessness that makes The Terrorism Survival Guide a must-read for everyone who isn't a hermit living on a remote mountaintop. If you can't anticipate it and you can't prevent it, then you need to learn to survive it, and this book is a big step in the right direction." -Len McDougall, author of The Ultimate Sh*t Hits the Fan Survival Guide "As a former emergency manager and terrorism response instructor, I find The Terrorism Survival Guide to be an easy-to-follow guide that gives essential tips to survive. The information inside is the same as what I give my own family." -David Nash, author of 52 Prepper Projects "Andy Lightfoot brings a wealth of information that can aid in avoiding, and surviving, terrorism." -Matt Graham, author of Epic Survival and star of Discovery Channel's Dual Survival "For both frequent and occasional travelers in today's increasingly threatening world, this all-encompassing guide will enhance your travel safety and enjoyment.
