Wolves Devour the Sun: Counter-Terrorism Design in Cities

Abstract

"Wolves Devour the Sun" is a counter-terrorism design manual by Alejandro Strus, who worked alongside multiple private sector and government security organizations to inform the project. An illustrated guide to security planning – it charts the journey of the former oil-painter, from INTERPOL offices in Singapore, to being hired to perform security reviews of hotels, offices, and industrial sites in Western Europe. The work explores topics such as access control, CCTV, and room-clearing/CQB tactics from special forces teams, with helpful and unhelpful diagrams.
