The Urban Survival Handbook: Learn what to do in an Accident, Assault or Terror Attack

With a strong emphasis on teaching practical skills, this book allows readers to anticipate the possible dangers of their everyday environment, to know the best course of action to take in each scenario, and thus protect themselves and those around them.

It teaches vital moves to protect yourself from attack, including disarming attackers, tackling a burglar and preventing an assault. Learn what to do in extreme situations: in war zones, under chemical attack, in a flood, in a fire, in a bomb situation, if kidnapped, or if your vehicle is hijacked.

Most crime is concentrated in inner city areas, and this practical handbook explains how to deal with many emergencies, from break-ins, fires, accidents and floods, through to hostage situations, bombs and kidnappings. Defensive moves are clearly illustrated and explained. Scenarios include being attacked by a drunk, attacks on women, and attacks with weapons.

The book shows step-by-step how to dispatch a bag thief, handle a burglary at home, deal with a gas leak or survive an air emergency. It allows readers to anticipate possible dangers, to know the best course of action to take in each scenario, and to protect themselves and those around them.
