Summary
The book is divided into three parts.
The first is a primer on the basics of staying safe in war zones and high-crime areas. This includes safety advice regarding transportation, crime, terrorism, bribery, disease, drugs, weapons, kidnappings, land mines, mercenaries, and more.
The second is essentially a chapter-by-chapter list of dangerous locales. This includes the United States, due to its extremely high level of gun violence. Each nation or autonomous administrative division is assigned a rating depending on the level and type of danger.
The third section contains the authors' first-hand stories of traveling through the listed places.
