"Highly Recommended"

- By C. Bruce SibleyÊ Ê65 pages.

Don't let the cover scare you away from getting this book! That would be a great mistake. Surviving Doomsday has been described as one of the BEST BOOKS every written on the subject of Nuclear, Biological & Chemical Warefare for novices.

Surviving Doomsday sets out in clear understandable language details about nuclear armament of the Great Powers, the REAL effect of a nuclear explosion (includes many excellent colored charts and graphs), how to make your own shelter in your home, and examines the development of chemical and biological warfare. You'll quickly realize that there is a high probability that you will survive a nuclear, biological or chemical terrorist attack/war if you are prepared.*

Written in easy to follow laymans terms by a nuetral 3rd party with no axe to grind either for the left or right wing extremes. Just factutal information that can become lifesaving when crisis strikes. The ins & outs of these weapons are discussed and how you can plan to survive. Learn the real facts, not the doom & gloom propaganda.

Surviving Doomsday has been twice reviewed in the "American Civil Defense Journal" as a book worth reading. Shelter building and fallout & chemical decontamination procedures are also covered. No survival library can afford to be without a copy of this book. Order this book now, before you need it! 8 1/2 x 11.



*Is anybody else not so sure they want to survive a nuclear attack? It's not just the open sores, but the clean-up that bothers me. I don't think I could stroll away from the glowing mushroom cloud with the calm demeanor of the gentleman on the book cover, with or without the HazMat suit:

[BApparently if a suitcase bomb were set off, you'd be screwed if you were in the epicentre. However, if you are in the fallout zone, Chris Ryan suggests either buggering off away (risky because everyone else will be doing the same thing) or proofing your house, sealing all the windows and doors, filling a bathtub with water and any bottles before the water supply gets contaminated and setting up a cubby, either under the stair, a cellar or (his option as 'his house' didn't have either of those) constructing a lean to against an inside wall, using doors and mattresses to form a bivouac which will help shield against radiation. Take in tinned food, bottle water, a radio and a shitload of books and stuff. Avoid coming out from the bivouac and don't go outside. After 7 days the most lethal radiation will have decayed and you should hear on the radio that you can be evacuated after 14 days or so.

Sounded pretty professional to me.

That advice was given in the previous 1970s government booklet 'Protect and Survive'. They envisaged sandbags on the lean-to doors but a minimum of twelve inches of earth is needed. That is a massive weight to lean against a modern door. There is no way that such a shelter can be prepared in the time between a blast and the radiation unless you are a long way from the centre.

If we are serious about surviving dirty bombs or biological attack we should take the Swiss approach and insist that all new buildings include a shelter. An improvised shelter may only prolong your death, not prevent it.

The advice is the current booklet is sound as far as it goes. We should all have emergency supplies of water, food, lighting etc. That would help cushion any disaster, natural or man-made. If you still have a WWII air raid shelter that would be better than any temporary structure - kick the spiders and useless junk out of it.

My relations in Sidcup bought a house in the 60s which had a purpose built air raid shelter erected in 1936 when materials were available. The wartime owners lived in luxury with space for the whole family, a separate toilet, bathroom, kitchen, living and sleeping areas. When built the then neighbours thought the owners were mad - it cost as much as a new Morris car. The neighbours ate their words in 1940.

My relations' kids loved it as a Wendy House then Den. With the gas-proof doors shut they could play music as loud as they liked and no one would hear. Winding the handle on the filtered air system was a bore - the choice was reasonable volume and breathe or loud and sweat on the air-pump. The air system wouldn't filter out radioactivity.
