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. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Vital InfoAs 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. Rating: - Highly Recommended!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 ... Read More Rating:  - This book is very terrifying and very realAs 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! Rating: - New Year's ResolutionMy 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. Rating: - Make sure you see another ChristmasI 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... |
