Certainly this is no ordinary book. I like how it ends with Patrick Henry’s speech.

Timely, on the 2021 US transition of power

Read this book regardless of your Left-Right political views. It provides tremendous insight into the course of events that may be anticipated during of a period of tyranny and courses of action for the oppressed. The references are numerous.

Many of the hyperlinks provided in the book are no longer accessible, with that being said, good read.

[Timothy Curry · Rating 4 out of 5]

Definitely a primer, but one of the best, because each chapter-by-chapter reference list will get you in-depth treatments of the chapter subject. Inevitably the technology section is out of date and almost not worth addressing in a book of this nature due to the evanescence of that topic. But such topics as small-unit tactics, OPSEC, public relations, are timeless. The author's stated purpose is to introduce each topic as something the reader may or may not even have considered, and in this he succeeds brilliantly. Strongly recommended.

If you value your liberty and are willing to do the things it might take to preserve it, this book needs to be in your collection.

Very good read

Would recommend this to anyone wanting an over view of the topic, more theoretical than step by step. Good read
