Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many times when people hear the word “bodyguard,” a certain image forms in their mind. Unfortunately, this image is too often complicated by stereotypes of muscular men in sunglasses and fancy suits shooting handguns as they jump sideways over a car in slow motion. I have never seen this in my experience as a bodyguard. I have seen many years of professionals working day in and day out, committed to protecting innocent people from people who want to harm them. I have witnessed professionalism that has humbled me and inspired me. I had been fortunate enough to work with professionals who I watched be the first to arrive, work all day in stressful environments, and be the last to leave. They are the professionals who work all of the time and are never seen or heard from on camera. They are silent and remain behind the scenes. Every day, more and more threats emerge in our world. Everything from terrorism to rising crime rates continues to make our world more and more dangerous. One thing is for sure, the need for protection and personal security is not going away.

Download or read book Standing Next to History written by Joseph Petro and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Standing Next to History presents the extraordinary account of Ronald Reagan's Secret Service bodyguard with stories that will make even a diehard "West Wing" fan go speechless. Joseph Petro served for 23 years as a special agent in the United States Secret Service; eleven of them with presidents and vice presidents. For four of those years he stood by the side of Ronald Reagan. Following his career as a Navy Lieutenant, during which he patrolled the rivers and canals along the Vietnamese-Cambodian border, he worked his way up through the Secret Service to become one of the key men in charge of protecting the President. That journey through the Secret Service provides an individual look inside the most discreet law enforcement agency in the world, and a uniquely intimate account of the Reagan presidency. Engagingly, Joseph Petro tells "first hand" stories of: riding horses with the Reagans; eluding the press and sneaking the President and Mrs. Reagan out of the White House; rehearsing assassination attempts and working, then re-working every detail of the president's trips around the world; negotiating the president's protection with the KGB; diverting a 26 car presidential motorcade in downtown Tokyo; protecting Vice-President Dan Quayle at Rajiv Gandhi's funeral where he was surrounded by Yassir Arafat's heavily armed bodyguards; taking charge of the single largest protective effort in the history of the Secret Service-Pope John Paul II's 1987 visit to the United States; and being only one of three witnesses at the private meeting between President Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev that ushered in the end of the Cold War. Joseph Petro provides an original and fascinating perspective of the Secret Service, the inner workings of the White House and a little seen view of world leaders, as a man who stood next to history.

Bombings at the World Trade Center and Oklahoma City's Federal Building, as well as nerve gas attacks in Japan, have made it tragically obvious that American civilians must be ready for terrorist attacks. What do we need to know to help emergency and medical personnel prepare for these attacks? Chemical and Biological Terrorism identifies the R&D efforts needed to implement recommendations in key areas: pre-incident intelligence, detection and identification of chemical and biological agents, protective clothing and equipment, early recognition that a population has been covertly exposed to a pathogen, mass casualty decontamination and triage, use of vaccines and pharmaceuticals, and the psychological effects of terror. Specific objectives for computer software development are also identified. The book addresses the differences between a biological and chemical attack, the distinct challenges to the military and civilian medical communities, and other broader issues.
