The secrets Jason reveals in this book have literally saved my life. I used what Jason taught me to escape a potential kidnapping and an attack. Ill be forever grateful for the techniques he shared with me.

Heather OBrien Walker, motivational speaker and life coach

Trade craft refers to a functional yet mythical set of skills every warrior, operator, or operative hopes to develop and master as they execute the duties of their trade; Jason Hanson has forgotten more trade craft than most will ever know. I have read many books and manuals focused on teaching and explaining these skill sets, but few hit the mark as cleanly, as effectively, and as easily digestible as Spy Secrets That Can Save Your Life. This book is overflowing with practical knowledge and teaching points that can and will save your life. Navy SEALs study all of the elements from this book, but I was stunned to glean so many secrets of the trade that will now join my bag of tricks on and off the battlefield.

Rorke Denver, Navy SEAL and New York Times bestselling author of Damn Few
