[close] (from jacket) "This is a myth-shattering guide to bomb survival which offers new hope for millions of Americans. It breaks the hypnotic spell of mass figures bloated into death and destruction. It firmly contradicts the "certain death" psychology advocated by well-meaning but mistaken spreaders of despair and futility. More specifically, this book is a manual for life.

Written in clear, simple terms, the contents explain in depth how you and your family can survive the bomb in the event of an attack.

For instance: What will you do about panicky neighbors who beat upon your shelter door seeking entrance? Will there really be "no warning"? Is there really no protection against blast? Will life after a nuclear attack really be worthless?

From the first family discussions to the final exit from shelter, this book outlines the specific steps necessary to save your life. It offers positive measures for preservation against the neutron bomb and the 100 megaton bomb. It tells you how to plot your chances for survival at home and at the office. It tells you how to improvise an effective shelter and describes costs and types of manufactured shelters. In short, how to live -- even if you have made no preparations.

The authors, recognized for their experience in the field, have gathered their facts from personal observation and literally tons of material -- much not previously made available to the public.

This book, then, is for the courageous, the indecisive, the uninformed and -- yes -- even the despairing. It is for those who are willing to prepare themselves for life.
