survive a shooting book

by Alain Burrese

Survive a Shooting is not another short pamphlet sized book regurgitating the Run-Hide-Fight mantra that many recent entries on the topic amount to. Survive A Shooting is the most complete book for civilians related to this topic available, and will be the standard for when you want information to keep people alive. This book doesn’t just tell you to do something, it provides information and guidance on how to do it.

This book, along with the Survive a Shooting courses, will save lives.

  • About the Author

“Alain Burrese has written the definitive guide to mass shootings—and how to maximize your chances of surviving one. And the common-sense steps he recommends aren’t just relevant for shootings—they’re well calibrated to help you keep yourself and your family safe generally.”
– Barry Eisler
New York Times bestselling author and creator of John Rain, Ben Treven, and Livia Lone

“I have been studying the problem of active killer response for more than two decades. I’ve read every book available on the subject and have both attended and taught countless classes on the topic. Without question, Alain’s book is the absolute best reference for active killer response available on the market today. His advice is both thorough and driven by industry best practices. If you want to learn how to prevail in an active killer attack, you need this book in your library.”
– Greg Ellifritz
Veteran police officer and founder of Active Response Training

“Way back in the 1990’s, Alain Burrese established himself as a leading thinker in self-defense circles when he published Hard-won Wisdom from the School of Hard Knocks. In the intervening years, Alain has continued to learn, grow, research, publish, and teach. I had the privilege to read a draft of his latest book, Survive a Shooting, which you now hold in your hands. Succinct, clear and accurate are just what I expect from Alain. Survive A Shooting offers something else. Instead of jacking up the fear to create a market, Alain took a potentially terrifying subject and created a calming, empowering book. Yes, it’s bad Alain points out. But there are things you can do. You are not helpless. That’s the defining message of this very useful book. I hate touchy feely jargon, but Survive a Shooting is empowering. The kind of book that leaves you a little stronger, a little more ready.”
– Rory Miller
Veteran corrections officer and author of multiple instructional books and videos including Meditations on Violence

“Survive a Shooting is a must read for anyone that may have to engage an active shooter or mass murderer. Alain did a great job detailing the history of mass shooting situations and what we must be prepared for in the future; as well as what we can do to mitigate this ominous threat.”
– Dr. Dale Comstock
Former Delta Force, Author, and President of Strategic Outcomes Asia

“Survive a Shooting is probably the best and most detailed resource available right now when it comes to active shooters. Alain provides not only the necessary background information to understand the problem, but he also points to specific cases of shootings to draw lessons from. Throughout the chapters, you learn the relevant statistical information and recommendations from law enforcement agencies and how to implement them. The knowledge you learn in this book is not just theoretical; Alain shows how to use it for your own safety or for those you have a responsibility for. From planning and prevention, to strategies to take action should the worst happen, followed by how to react when the police arrive and much more. Highly recommended.”
– Wim Demeere
Martial arts and self defense expert, author of multiple instructional books and videos including the Combat Sanshou series

“The CIA trains operatives to survive in hostile environments. Survive A Shooting trains people to survive active threats. Putting the knowledge in this book to use could literally save your life.”
– Jason Hanson
Former CIA Officer and author of Spy Secrets That Can Save Your Life

“It’s been twenty years since the last time I had bullets flying past me. I’ve never gone this long in my life without having been shot at. I wasn’t a cop. Nor were these incidents on some foreign battlefield. They were in the streets and buildings in the US — exactly the same environment you’re going to be in. Alain’s book is not regurgitated police and military tactics, it addresses the options and resources available to civilians and businesses when confronted with these terrible circumstances. The information herein
works. But more importantly, it works with who you are and what you have. That’s what makes this book unique.”
– Marc MacYoung
Self-defense and personal safety expert, author of multiple instructional books and videos including In The Name Of Self-Defense

“Alain Burrese has written what many will soon consider the definitive text on “Slaughter in Progress.” From past incidents to current techniques on what to do in an active killer situation, Alain covers what you need to know to be ready for this increasing threat.”
– Dave Spaulding
Founder Handgun Combatives LLC and 2010 Law Enforcement Trainer of the Year

“No one wants to be a victim, yet learning how to successfully defend against an armed threat can be a significant challenge. Nevertheless, with the right training it’s a surmountable one. If I was going to put my life (or a member of my family’s) in someone else’s hands during an active shooting, I can think of no better person to safeguard it than Alain Burrese. His knowledge, experience, and pragmatic approach create powerful, trustworthy advice that everyone must know.”
– Lawrence Kane
Bestselling author of The Big Bloody Book of Violence and 16 other titles

“As a highly accomplished martial artist, a former Army Sniper instructor, and an Active Shooter Response instructor, Alain brings a unique perspective to one of the most perplexing problems in modern society – the active killer. His book, Survive a Shooting, is an interesting and thought provoking read but more importantly, it’s a pragmatic guide that reveals simple steps anyone can take to increase their odds of surviving this nightmarish scenario. Read this book or bury your head in the sand and hope “it” doesn’t happen to “you”. The choice is yours…”
