From the most distant locations to even our own backyard, danger and destruction can strike at any moment, and survival depends on how well you are prepared and how much you know your enemy.

The author of the book is a retired member of the elite unit of the American SEALs, and so this manual draws information from the experience and unique skills of a covert operative to dramatically increase your chances of staying alive, whether you are facing a terrorist assassin or a scenario of apocalyptic proportions.

The one hundred deadly skills described in the book are entirely based on tools of minimal or no technology because complex instructions are the last thing you need when facing an immediate threat, and they include:

• Creating a daily use backpack
• Avoiding an ambush
• Escaping from a car trunk
• Building a makeshift gas mask
• Neutralizing digital tracking devices
• Deceiving facial recognition software
• Winning against an opponent with a knife
• Surviving a grenade attack
• Hiding and extracting data through everyday photographs

CLINT EMERSON, a retired US Navy SEAL, spent twenty years conducting covert operations worldwide while serving in SEAL Team Three, the National Security Agency (NSA), and the elite SEAL Team Six. Using a range of practical skills he developed for self-protection, both at home and abroad, he created the Violent Nomad - a personal, non-mobile capture/neutralization program that includes the essential knowledge to confront any criminal or crisis situation.
