AMOK. Act and defend – save lives

Mass shootings are incredible disruptions. A perpetrator moves around with the intent to kill until they are stopped – or take their own life. How can one understand this, prepare for it, and defend against it?

Thomas Herzing has decades of experience from special assignments with the military and police in situations involving targeted violence. He played a significant role in the development of the Bavarian amok concept. Today, he is an entrepreneur and advises decision-makers in corporations, schools, authorities as well as federal agencies on violence prevention, threat management, and integrated security.

Herzing's new book "AMOK" explains: 
– the psyche of the mass shooter and their goals
– how mass shooters and their hatred develop 
– how those affected can protect themselves in a serious situation 
– how authorities should react in an emergency 
– with case studies on what really happens. 

Herzing's approach combines operational deployment practice with strategic classification and legal assessment. With his book "AMOK", he consolidates this experience into a well-founded work that empowers responsible individuals and imparts sustainable action security in high-risk situations. The book practically demonstrates how to recognize risks, assess threats, and manage extreme situations. It strengthens action security for organizations and individuals.
