Wave man

What makes a successful and happily married man risk the streets of post-invasion Baghdad to provide protection for foreign aid workers? He recounts his adventures from life in an Australian country town to teaching his own brand of "empty handed combat" to the bodyguards on Nelson Mandela's immaculate lawn, building on the skills he acquired in the Australian Defence Force to later take part in live drug raids with the FBI in Los Angeles, and providing close personal protection to not-for-profit organisations in Iraq. The author mixes work in security services with travelling the world in his search for self-empowerment and adventure.
