Great book. A must for anyone who travels abroad or even at home. This No BS book covers many basis by someone who has been there and done that. Clint didn't always travel with 20 of his best well armed friends. He often went alone or with another and they were completely unarmed, or as unarmed as a man with his training could be in very bad countries. Normally special operations personnel aren't sent to the garden spots of the world with stable governments. I highly recommend this book for anyone and especially those who travel internationally or domestically.

A great resource for anyone who travels for their job, or even for leisure. There are lots of take-aways and the consistent reminder that appropriate preparation prior to travel is the best defense from finding yourself in a shitty situation that could have been avoided.

I really liked the "Review" sections after each chapter which helped to reinforce the concepts discussed, and even included some real-life examples of how the principles were (or were not) followed.

If you have any plans to travel outside of the US (or maybe to a semi-permissive part of the US), you should read this book.

Useful information

Excellent book for international travelers.

This is an solid investment of time for inexperienced international travelers, but even as a seasoned traveler I found some useful nuggets in here.

Like all the books in Clint Emerson's 100 Deadly Skills series (which I own in its entirety), "Escape the Wolf" focuses on practical applications; however, what I appreciate most is the emphasis on real-life scenarios and the dangerous situations that civilians may face. As someone closely related to the security and defense sector through my job, I highly value the author's effort to draw readers' attention to the importance of individual awareness and preparedness. There is a saying: "Ignorance of the law is no excuse," and it is the same with our safety - each of us is the first responder. I highly recommend it not only for active travelers but also for a wide audience. A must-read.
