The Professional Strength edition is a shorter and grittier version of Harper Collins cult book, "World's Most Dangerous Places" and focuses on the international business traveler in this new and more dangerous world - whether you're a reporter assigned to Baghdad or a wildcatter scoping out Chechnyan oil fields, this book will help you come back safe and sound. Inside, you'll find a discussion on the new dangers of working and traveling overseas on business, and sections that describe the type of safety training, equipment, resources, survival tips, and services you'll need to circumvent kidnappers, insurgents, drug dealers, and a whole host of hostile elements. This book is not merely for thrill seekers: it is a necessary tool for people traveling to strife-ridden areas on a professional level.
