When the next crisis hits, proximity won't save you.

​

Leadership will.

​​

That's the argument at the heart of The Protector's Edge, written by Fred Burton, Chuck Randolph, and Jonathan Wackrow, three professionals whose careers span national security, military command, intelligence, and law enforcement.

​

The threats have changed. Assassination culture, digital radicalization, reputational warfare, hybrid cyber-physical attacks: these aren't fringe concerns. They're daily realities. And yet too many security professionals are still trained to react when the moment calls for anticipating and advising long before a crisis lands.​

​

The central thesis is deceptively simple: leadership is the ultimate form of protection. Unpacking that idea takes the whole book. By the end, it's hard to argue otherwise.

​

Essential reading for protectors, security executives, and anyone who leads at the edge of uncertainty.
