Anatomy of a Warrior, Paperback/Alexander Lanshe

Descriere

This book is based on 2 and 1/2 years of research and 120 interviews with the most successful leading authorities on human violence and the prevention thereof. Author Alexander Lanshe sought to gain clarity on this question: "What virtues are the most essential for a warrior to live by in order to prepare for, protect against and prevent human violence?" The results of his extensive research revealed seven core virtues that were most often referenced by the 120 interviewees. The book takes a revolutionary approach to preventing human violence in society by focusing on developing the virtue of the individual protector (professional or non-professional). Among the interviewees are world recognized leaders of human violence including: - Lt. Col.

It is ideal for you if you are a private person who knows that protecting yourself and loved ones from violence ultimately rests on your shoulders.

In addition to neutralizing violent threats, these virtues have tremendous extra benefits that are vast in scope.
