This updated and expanded edition of Nuclear War Survival Skills gives instructions that have enabled untrained Americans to make high-protection-factor expedient shelters, efficient air pumps to ventilate and cool shelters, the only homemakeable fallout radiation meter that is accurate and dependable, and other life-support equipment. These instructions have been developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory civil defense researchers and others over the past 14 years, and have been field- tested repeatedly under simulated crisis conditions.

Over 400,000 privately reproduced copies of the original 1979 Oak Ridge National Laboratory edition have been sold. You and your family can improve your chances of surviving during and after a nuclear attack by learning the nuclear facts and following the self-help instructions given in this book.

Cresson Kearny is the leading inventor and field-tester of self-help survival equipment. He holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Princeton University and two Honours degrees from Oxford, where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar. Before and during World War II Kearny pioneered the development and testing of jungle combat equipment. In 1964 he initiated self-help civil defense research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory - work that he has continued in many states and several countries.

"I do not understand or accept the morality of a policy which requires that the lives of innocent children, women and men, whether Soviet or American, be held hostage to the political power and authority of the leaders of either nation.

I think it immoral for national leadership to fail to plan for national survival and population protection."

      Bardyl Tirana, Director of the Defense Civil Preparedness Agency during the Carter Administration

"This book takes a long overdue step in educating the American people. It does not suggest that survival is easy. It does not prove that national survival is possible. But it can save lives and it will stimulate thought and action which will be critical in our two main purposes:

1. to preserve freedom 2. and to avoid war." Dr. Edward Teller

"Readers will be astonished at the wide variety of the problems which have excited his enquiry and the cunning simplicity of some of his solutions. There is no other book which offers so rounded a view of this large subject nor any on a smaller scale which one could recommend with so few reservations."

Journal of the Institute of Civil Defense, London

LARRY WAYNE HARRIS, Registered Microbiologist, has researched and written this powerful and important book.

Are we facing a nationwide threat of terrorist attacks using biological warfare? Is this just a fearful possibility, or is there evidence supporting hostile activity by enemy agents within the United States? YES, is the answer to both questions. Larry Wayne Harris reveals what we do not want to hear in a compelling lecture about Iran's present activity within our nation. In an urgent plea ignored by national health and security officials, Mr. Harris warns of the devastating attack which is a matter of when, not if. This book tells us how we can be ready and what resources are available when the attack occurs. This is not sensationalism...this is real!

No Such Thing As Doomsday is your key to preparing for and dealing with the uncertainties of the future. This book will help you understand potential threats in the near future and show how to maneuver around these threats.

How to:

Prepare for food shortages
Prepare for prolonged power failures
Deal with breakdowns in law and order
Deal with psychological aspects of disaster
Deal with medical emergencies when help is not available
Protect you and your family against nuclear and biological warfare
And much, much more..........
Over 400 pages with hundreds of charts, pictures and illustrations!

This book will be your constant reference source and preparedness guide, both before and during a disaster. It will help you secure the best possible future in our troubled times for your family, friends, community and nation.

Purpose: This manual provides a source of information on aspects of biology having military application and on the types of biological agents which might be used against us. Although this manual is intended primarily for use by chemical officers in accomplishment of their mission, all commanders of ground and air forces should be familiar with it in order that they may realize the dangers of biological warfare ( BW) and how such warfare may be recognized and combated.

This is a controversial book; it is a frightening book; but it is a factual book.

It sets out in detail the nuclear armament of the Great Powers;

It describes the effects of a nuclear explosion;

It examines the development of chemical and biological warfare;

And it ask the vital question - Is a third World War possible - and imminent"

The author, who is a scientist, has spent many years investigating these matters, and has consulted authorities from all parts of the world.

All may not agree with his conclustions: but none can afford to ignore them.

Who will survive a nuclear war? It could be you. Bruce Clayton's Life After Doomsday tells you how to survive the nuclear nightmare that is becoming increasingly likely as more and more countries acquire the ability to build and deliver atomic weapons. It is an exhaustive investigation of the strategies needed to survive a war, and of the problems of those who do live through it. A classic of its kind, Life After Doomsday is also an excellent reference on surviving any major disaster.

Chapters include: It's a disaster- A review of the many potential calamities that threaten our way of life.

Home sweet Hole- A discussion of shelter in the broadest sense, spanning several types of fallout and blast shelters, as well as shelters for hurricanes winter storms, and floods.

The purpose of this book is to give the reader some basic ideas on how to prepare various materials( coins, firearms, etc.) for long term storage below ground. The reason for this book is, or should be, obvious. Namely the political and social climate in this country and the rest of the world.

History has shown that during major social or natural upheavals the people who survived were those who prepared for the worst. During these times the most valuable items were: Food, firearms, and a valuable medium of exchange. ( i.e. gold, silver, precious gems, etc.) The authors considered this book just the first edition. We urge our readers to send us any critizisms, comments, suggestions or different methods which they have tried and found successful, so that we may pass it on in the next edition.

Some of the prices of the materials which we quote are based on the current costs in our area. ( Eastern Washington state) They may vary according to location, inflation, shipping, etc., their main purpose is just to give the reader a rough idea of costs.
