Book Description

An essential guide to the best and most practical survival information available from the American Armed Forces, edited for civilian use by the same packager who brought us The U.S. Armed Forces Survival Manual that sold over 600,000 copies in the 1980s.

Experts agree that the next terrorist attack on our soil will not come in the same form as September 11. The possibility of nuclear, chemical or biological attack is increasingly likely. The U.S. Armed Forces Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Counter-Terrorism Handbook will enable its readers to survive such an attack. It contains the best practices of the United States' military, completely edited and adapted for civilian use.

For example, readers will learn how to:
Gain knowledge of an impending chemical attack using a simple warning system;
Protect against biological threats such as anthrax with a series of inoculations;
Guard against fallout from a terrorist nuke;
Achieve basic protection during chemical or biological attacks with a simple mask; and
Administer first aid after nuclear, chemical or biological attacks with a simple first aid kit.

It's all here. This handbook is the single most effective tool for civilians to protect themselves and their loved ones against the threat looming over our homeland.

Vital Info.......2005-08-02

As someone who served in the Army, I have had plenty of NBC training and can say that this book is something that everyone should take the time to read. In fact I learned even more from this book because it is presented in a way that anyone can understand, and it is targeted for use by the civilian population. READ IT, it may save your life one day.

Highly Recommended!.......2004-06-07

We assigned writer prepared this recommendation on a lovely, though warm summer day, while butterflies fluttered over a stand of purple thistles. Until he read this book, it seemed like a peaceful scene. Then, it seemed full of threats and hidden perils. He wondered if his building is strong enough to protect against a nuclear attack. What will his family do if someone sprays anthrax spores from a crop duster? Is there a clear spot in the basement to store enough gas masks, and which ones? This book will make you paranoid, too. It says that the threat of an attack is real and growing. You could laugh that off, except that the police just busted an arms dealer for trying to bring missiles into the U.S., except that someone mailed anthrax to strangers, except that there used to be towers at the World Trade Center. Are recommendation - buy this book, read it, then decide whether it is better to prepare or to take your chances. Feeling lucky? At least go buy some flashlight batteries

This book is very terrifying and very real.......2004-01-23

As a former SEAL I have read several of Captain Couch's novels and liked them all. I thought that I would take a chance on this book because of his reputation. I am glad I did and have bought several more copies through you all for relatives. There is a wealth of great material here and I'll give the sequel five stars instead of four if it's longer!

New Year's Resolution.......2004-01-10

My New Year's resolution was to read this book - and I'm glad that I did. It took hearing about the exploits of Special Forces in Afghanistan and Iraq to make me pick up and read this book by former Navy SEAL Captain Couch. He knows what he's talking about and has given us something straight from military training manuals.

Make sure you see another Christmas.......2003-12-29

I received this for Christmas from a cousin who is in the National Guard who told me his unit used it for training. I can see why. This is essential stuff...

Book Description

On the morning of September 1, 2004, the children of Beslan were excited about the start of a new school year. But as traditional festivities got underway, heavily armed terrorists stormed the school playground, changing ordinary lives in the southern Russian town forever. At least 330 parents and children were killed, some in the massive explosions that tore through the gymnasium, some caught in the crossfire of a three-hour gun battle between the Russian forces and the terrorists. This riveting account not only covers the three days of unimaginable terror and suffering that followed, but includes the people of Beslan speaking in their own words about their ordeal and about their lives in this deeply fractured region. The human story of the siege is here—including the terrible toll that thirst, hunger, and sleeplessness took on the hostages, and the bravery of those who dealt with the terrorists, such as the elderly headmistress of the school and the doctor who tried to relieve the children's suffering. This account also examines the authorities’ response to the siege, finding it wanting, and ultimately places the events of September 2004 in their wider context of centuries of conflict and enmity in the Caucasus.

Book Description

On September 11th, Battalion Commander Richard 'Pitch' Picciotto was the highest ranking fire department commander in the twin towers when the North Tower fell. Pitch and his men were on the 17th floor racing upward when the world seemed to explode around them. From his intimate knowledge of the Towers gained during service after the 1993 WTC bombing Pitch was able to lead the firefighters to an alternative stairwell to floor 12 where they were met with a horrifying sight - more than 50 workers too crippled, too old, or too weak to have made their way out on their own. Pitch ordered his firefighters to form a human chain and pushed and cajoled them down the stairs. They were in the 7th floor stairwell when the tower fell, and Pitch and a handful of survivors woke to find themselves buried on the landing of floor 2. This is the story of how Pitch Picciotto led his men and the survivors to safety.

Good sense no matter where you are.......2006-02-23

In planning an overseas move to Nigeria security is a concern for my family. I'm thankful for such a concise book of wisdom and practical advice. This is a book that delivers what it promises.

Used to promote personal safety since 1982.......2005-06-24

I was an American soldier in West Berlin when I obtained my first copy of Patrick Collins "Living in Troubled Lands." In the turbulant 1980's the joke was that the Polish airline, Lot, had scheduled skyjackings to Templehof Central Airport every week. Anti-draft and anti-American riots were common in West Berlin. The Berlin Wall was a land-mined, electrified barbwire reality. The spy game was in full Cold War swing. Yet most G.I.'s in West Berlin were ignorant of the threat--despite constant G-2 briefings and sensational newspaper stories.

Collins's book is easy to read, well organized, and based on workable personal security procedures. One warning--Collins puts personal security above obeying local laws. Collins says that the major threat to Americans overseas is being complacent and arrogant--and that ordinary crime is the next big threat (I think it is motor vehicle traffic!). Collins talks about assessing your own personal security situation, then addresses specifics: your residence, your office, your automobile, weapons (including firearms), and how to integrate your family into a security plan. How-to information on surviving being kidnapped and held hostage is relavent even 25 years after Collins wrote "Living in Troubled Lands." At the end of the book is a series of security checklists. You won't be able to get a better personal security program without spending several thousand dollars. This book will "teach you to fish" so that you will be able to provide most of your own security. Avoiding terrorist attack is mostly a matter of staying out of the terrorists' crosshairs.

I used "Living in Troubled Lands" as my personal security blueprint through two 3-year tours in Germany as an American soldier, through a 5-year and a 2-year contract as an anti-terrorist security officer in the Middle East, and for my mundane anti-crime personal security program in the United States. Professionally, these principles made me an effective security officer and kept me out of trouble as a soldier in Germany and in the Middle East last year. I keep handing out copies of Collins's book to friends and coworkers because these procedures work.

Individuals must take charge of their own personal security. No matter how much professional security a person has, that person can derail his own program--"his" is appropriate, given the number of men killed or kidnapped because they gave their protectors the slip to keep a date with their girlfriends--who just happened to be part of a criminal gang, terrorist group, or in the employ of a hostile government or rival corporation. If you don't care about your own security, who will?
