This is a letter of recommendation for Mr. Manrico Erriu. I have known Manrico for two years (from 2012). At the time we began working together, I was coordinator of delivery of Firearms Trainig for Private Security Sector and Manrico was the key instructor.

 

Manrico has a unique ability to work hard and professional, sharing his experience with the trainees. He worked excellent with all team members, achieving high level of interoperability and combat team efficiency.  Manrico Erriu is highly organized, disciplined, and results oriented combat instructor.

 

A lot of his professional skills I was able to implement improving the combat training of Bulgarian military advisor teams (MATs) involved in “hottest” areas of ISAF (International Security Assistance Forces Afghanistan) security operations in Kabul and Kandahar.

 

An ancient wisdom says:

 

“If we look at each 100 soldiers in the battle place, we will see that 80 of them are targets, 10 must not be there at all, 9 are fighters (and we have to be thankful, because they are important in the battle) and there is another 1 - the Real Warrior, who will provide all the rest soldiers to get back home alive after the battle.”

 

In my opinion this is the professional profile of Manrico – he is born Real Warrior!

 

I would highly recommend Manrico Erriu as a highly motivated and qualified professional specialist with experience in all aspects of providing of security training including counter terrorism, close protection, close combat, and firearms training.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Colonel. PhD K. K.

NEL DUBBIO UCCIDI

L'arte dell'inganno

Autobiografia di uno stratega

 

Autore: Manrico Erriu

Codice ISBN: 978-9928-4586-0-5

Casa editrice: Independently published 

Lingua: Italian Edition

 

 “Nel dubbio uccidi” è il titolo d’impatto dell’autobiografia di Manrico Erriu, presentata in anteprima a Cagliari venerdì 13 dicembre 2019. 

 

L’opera, che ha come sottotitolo “L’arte dell’inganno”, racconta la straordinaria vicenda personale di Manrico Erriu: nato a Cagliari, riceve sin da bambino un durissimo addestramento fisico e spirituale presso una potente famiglia giapponese.

 

Seguiranno intense esperienze come operatore di scorta nelle aree più pericolose del pianeta e come addestratore di sicurezza per enti governativi e privati, fino ai successi nelle vesti di imprenditore. Sempre sospesa tra Occidente e Oriente, un’eccezionale avventura che è anche un percorso iniziatico di rafforzamento, attraverso la costruzione di un’identità e di un’etica che ricalcano quelle dei leggendari guerrieri del Sol Levante.

 

“Nel dubbio uccidi” è un libro che parla di strategia e tattica nelle situazioni più estreme e brutali, ma anche un coinvolgente atto d’amore nei confronti delle tradizioni e dei segreti della cultura giapponese.

 

Un libro intenso e avvincente nel quale Manrico Erriu svela alcuni segreti con i quali ha convissuto durante trentasette anni e che hanno accompagnato ogni attimo della sua vita. 

 

Dall'addestramento ricevuto da una famiglia guerriera giapponese, alle pratiche ascetiche di rafforzamento e sviluppo del potenziale mentale arrivando ai giorni nostri dove l'autore racconta la sua vita come operatore di scorta durante missioni segrete per la protezione di dignitari e come addestratore di unità di protezione provenienti da enti governativi e privati di tutto il mondo. Un libro sulla tradizione e i segreti del Giappone più antico e misterioso, ma anche un libro di strategia e tattica, la storia dei suoi successi imprenditoriali e personali realizzati negli ultimi dieci anni.
