Great book for getting ready for the worst senario... - By: Detra Fitch, 12 Jan 2004 
This is THE best book on the subject of Nuclear war & other major disasters I have ever read. Dr. Clayton walks you through everything nuclear, from effects of air bursts, ground bursts, EMP, to every other nuclear topic imaginable. While famous for its nuclear information, this book is writen as a primer to surviving ANY disaster. Our Motto here at Alpha Group is(as you know) "It doesn't matter what causes the situation, you should be prepared to survive it". This book fits perfectly with that philosophy.
I consider this book one of the "MUST HAVE" booksin any survival library. Not only does this book contain fantastic & interesting reading, but with its dozens of charts, lists, drawings & photos, this book serves as an excellent reference on surviving ANY major disaster. It is one of the few reference books I keepin my personal bookshelf beside the computer. When I read this book for the first time I was amazed by what I THOUGHT I knew. I was VERY wrongin many of my beliefs. Even the US government used Dr. Clayton's research to revise their policiesin some areas.
Chapters covered include:
It's a disaster
Everything you ever wanted to know about nuclear war
To flee or not to flee
Home sweet hole
Nobody makes housecalls anymore
and MANY others that will keep you reading, & more importantly, will keep you alive no matter what the disaster.
Excellent primer on nuclear war and catastrophy survival - By: , 25 Jul 1998 This book is a great beginning on understanding the logic of preparedness & the fundamentals of survival. The information is still current & the author's assesment of what a nuclear war might really be like is the single best feature of the book. I did not believe it until a read the same information from the Office of Technology Assesment [U.S. Goverment Publication] "Nuclear War; Three Scenarios"
