Something to think about
I read this book as someone who is neither a survivalist nor a conspiracy theorist, nor someone interested in weapons. What I AM interested in is the question of how modern people might survive if the normally expected parts of society (supermarkets, public transportation, gas stations, cell phones, law enforcement, etc.) were to disappear. If that is something you find interesting to have thought about and developed in some detail, this is a book for you. Yes, it is flawed, in that it is not particularly well written (the author is not a professional wordsmith), and one can argue about the merit of the political issues. Still, if you might want to think about what you might do if civil society fell apart, the author gives you well-thought-out reality therapy. He does so in a book filled with rather interesting individuals who go through rather interesting experiences.
