The result of extensive research, including an analysis of over 140 active shooter/killer incidents, Krav Maga Extreme Survival provides an apolitical view of personal safety--concentrating on practical methods to survive violent situations.
In his third book, Gershon Ben Keren explains how Krav Maga techniques can be used to survive some of the most relevant, extreme situations including carjackings, home invasions and attempted mass killings. The book also details predator profiling methods to aid in the prediction, prevention and avoidance of violence.

- Instances of domestic violence including violent and abusive relationships
- Assailants armed with knives, handguns, long barrel firearms, explosives, and improvised weapons
- Attacks in cars and other confined and restricted spaces
- Vehicular rammings
