As a disaster survivor, it would be about as helpful as using chopsticks to repair a car engine. Oh well.anyone can write a book. Don't waste your money or time. It contains so many incorrect information that it's dangerous. Helpful suggestions would have been nice: buy in bulk, get a vacuum sealer, stock up on water, purification tablets or a filter, multi-vitamins and antibiotics, have a first aid kit, batteries, a solar/crank radio w/shortwave, etc. I read everything in print, OCD that way. This belongs in the trash.
A lot of other reviewers poke fun at some of the information in this book but a lot of it is taken out of context. This is the first survival book I have ever read. It was so good that I started buying all the books it recommends, which are also full of great information. This is a very well written book. A must for any survivalist library and a great start off point for anybody interested in starting one. By no means does it have all the information, but it has a great list of about 30+ books to also buy. I got it from the library and I had to buy it for my own personal library. None of which are written by this author.
If any of THAT sounds insane, then you're game for this joke of a "survival-guide".--Matt Not unless you have building beneath the Earth, perfecting a culture that can survive without the sun or fresh water and been building it all underground for years just in case something like this happens. You have to love this book.I know I do.My favorite parts are the fore-mentioned alien-attacks and the gang-wars that take over your city. The author suggests that the gangs will completely outnumber your police/army/navy/special-ops/national-guard completely and that you should find a safe place to hide while they over-run your city.I'm sure.He later suggests that you attempt to create an uprising by gathering munitions and what-not to do so, but BEFORE all that, try to gain money by selling food to the gangs that have infected the inside of your city limits.HUH.And just so you know.there is NO way to survive completely after a nuclear-strike.

The section on External Terrorism applies to today. I purchased it in 99', but didn't really read much of it until this week. Amazingly, things are playing out as written here. Excellent book. Covers many scenarios.
