He uses first-hand accounts to describe the kinds of close protection favoured by today's royal family, politicians, diplomats and other 'celebrities' having interviewed serving and former members of the US Secret Service, the FBI, the British Special Branch, the Royal Protection Group, the Royal Military Police, the SAS Regiment and other private practitioners of the bodyguard business in US, UK and Europe. Tony Geraghty, former Defence Correspondent for "The Sunday Times", is author of a parallel study of the SAS, "Who Dares Wins", and "March or Die: France and the Foreign Legion".
