Ft. Hood, Virginia Tech, Main Street, USA. Hardly a week goes by without another deadly rampage somewhere. We'd like to think it's impossible that the familiar places we visit every day- "comfort zones" such as our mall, church, school, or office - could suddenly become twisted into the scene of the latest tragedy. But this alarming epidemic crosses every border and affects everyone. Most people either deny the problem or think that nothing can be done to prevent or survive such an attack. Arthur Cohen, an educator for 33 years who has worked closely with various law enforcement agencies on safety issues, knows better.
In Surviving a Massacre, Rampage, or Spree Killing, he analyzes past incidents to define who these killers are and what we can expect from them in the future, and then shows you how to formulate a plan of action for surviving one of these terrifying situations. He focuses on what the average person can do to stay alive in the first deadly minutes, because most incidents end in a matter of minutes, usually before the police arrive, putting the burden of survival squarely on the shoulders of those caught in the rampage. Cohen provides practical tactics and strategies - many derived from what did or didn't work in real-life attacks - to give you the best chance of surviving a spree, rampage, or mass killing, wherever the location.
This thoughtful, well-reasoned book goes beyond the hype to provide real answers to a very difficult problem.
