Dealing with the unthinkable
It's never going to be you. Then one day you hear the clatter of
automatic fire at the mall. You have been drawn into the chaos and
terror of an active shooter event. What do you do? Who do you turn to?
Be a Hero is the essential guide to terrorist attacks that will help
you survive. Former Special Air Service terror expert John Geddes will
explain how to cope with a life-threatening event. He shows you how to
make clear decisions and beat the odds by:
- Dealing with fear through simple and effective techniques to bring the
chemical urges generated by terror at least partially under control
- Escaping and evading when possible, using everyday objects and
landmarks for protection
- Fighting back if needed, with methods to disarm an active shooter and
to use items at hand as weapons
- Using a weapon if you are licensed to carry, shooting to kill without
collateral damage or being mistaken for a perpetrator
- Providing medical assistance to deal with traumatic battlefield injury
and save lives
This is not a book primarily for survivalists and 'preppers.' Be a
Hero is a book for ordinary men and women who could find themselves in
the middle of an extraordinary moment. It will help them find the hero
inside--and live to tell the tale.
