| <p>The Art of</p> | |
| <p>Executive Protection</p> | |
| <p>RL Oatman & Assoc., Inc is requesting the following addition to our existing GSA contract number GS-02F-0157R. This book is used as a training aid in the course under that contract number and falls within the scope of SIN 27-400. A brief description of the book follows.</p> | |
| <p>The Art of Executive Protection is about a highly specialized form of defensive warfare-modern executive protection. Its foundation rests on the doctrine of Sun Tzu, the ancient Chinese military strategist whose philosophy still rings true. His central maxim is that one must plan secretly, move surreptitiously, and foil the enemies’ intentions, so that the day may be won without shedding a drop of blood. That is the essence of executive protection- the avoidance of conflict through intelligent, proactive thinking. Add to that the demeanor of a quiet, dignified, and capable professional, and you have a description of a modern day executive protection practitioner. </p> | |
| <p>But The Art of Executive Protection goes far beyond the philosophy. It is a practical work that benefits from the experience of a highly skilled provider of executive protection services. Robert L. Oatman has written a guide for both executives seeking protection and those who would protect them. Among other topics, the book covers protection choreography, advance security preparations, the hazards of domestic and international travel, workplace violence, threat assessment, and training. </p> | |
| <p>The book also discusses suitable preparations for someone interested in an executive protection career-what it takes to break into the field and succeed. For executives, prominent families, celebrities, or others in need of protection services, this book offers real-world advice about determining the need for protection in the first place and about avoiding the “bodyguard” and finding the protection specialist. </p> | |
