Lawful Survival: Understanding fear, violence, and the limits of the law.

“Will writes from a depth of experience about what it takes to overcome that initial fear in moments of attack and how to turn it into positive action that could save your life and others. It comes down to training and being familiar with adrenal overload, which in turn takes time and practice — but that adrenal control can be your greatest weapon in conflict. We call it, ‘Calm in the crisis.’
This book will empower you to survive violence — the real way.” - Bear Grylls
