" ... provides a detailed discussion of the current status of security in the Asia-Pacific region ... will prepare both security managers and security practitioners for the many risks and threats that populations and commercial organizations will encounter in international business and foreign affairs. ... The authors are to be commended for the structure and analysis of the topics within the book, with comprehensive description and discussion of the need for asset protection and recovery. There is no comparable book on the international market and, as such, it is at the leading edge of advanced security management texts for the serious consideration of asset protection."
