Synopsis

A hands-on, practical survival guide from retired Navy SEAL Clint Emerson—adapted for civilians from actual special forces operations—to eluding pursuers, evading capture, and surviving any dangerous situation.

In today’s increasingly dangerous world, threats to your personal safety are everywhere. From acts of terror to mass shootings, and from the unseen (and sometimes virtual) matrix of everyday crime, danger is no longer confined to dark alleys or unstable regions. Potentially life-threatening circumstances can arise anywhere, anytime, and Clint Emerson—former Navy SEAL—wants you to be prepared.

100 Deadly Skills contains proven self-defense skills, evasion tactics, and immobilizing maneuvers—modified from the world of black ops—to help you take action in numerous “worst case” scenarios from escaping a locked trunk, to making an improvised Taser, to tricking facial recognition software. With easy-to-understand instructions and illustrations, Emerson outlines in detail many life-saving strategies and teaches you how to think and act like a member of the special forces.

This complete course in survival teaches you how to prevent tracking, evade a kidnapping, elude an active shooter, rappel down the side of a building, immobilize a bad guy, protect yourself against cyber-criminals, and much more—all using low-tech to “no-tech” methods. Clear, detailed, and presented in an easy-to-understand and execute format, 100 Deadly Skills is an invaluable resource. Because let’s face it, when danger is imminent, you don’t have time for complicated instructions.

Goodreads review by Matthew

These might be real skills, but it's pure entertainment for basic folks like me who want to pretend they will ever have the day in a life of a "violent nomad".

Goodreads review by Matias

Well the title says it all. Has some funny, some useful and some over the top tips/skills. Ranging from the mundane to the useful and back out to bizarre (build your own camera taser - anyone?) Still a light enjoyable journey. First book I’ve read that explains smuggling a shank up your anus the safe......more

Goodreads review by Anup

This book is mainly about skills needed for covert operations in a hostile territory. Most of the skills mentioned in the book rely on improvisation than anything else. I was surprised to know that operatives work with a minimum dependence on high-tech gadgets and rather rely mainly on improvisation......more

Goodreads review by Deborah

Tremendous fun! As a writer - and a fan of the TV show, 'Archer' - this manual got my creative juices flowing. (Uh...phrasing?) I find myself wanting to write an action scene involving a Zebra pen, a newspaper nail bat, improvised body armour... But seriously, there are lots of fascinating tidbits i......more

Goodreads review by Melissa

Despite its title, retired Navy SEAL Clint Emerson's "100 Deadly Skills: The SEAL Operative's Guide to Eluding Pursuers, Evading Capture, and Surviving Any Dangerous Situations", is as often applicable to civilian life as to clandestine operations. Tips include skills on avoiding such annoyances as......more
