The author, James Wesley, Rawles tells you right on the cover what this book is all about, “How to Survive The End of The World as we Know IT–Tactics, Techniques and Technologies for uncertain times.” If you are interested in preparedness for any disaster, but especially a major societal upheaval, this is a good introductory book.
Some have criticized the book for its focus on TEOTWAWKI, but Rawles, founder of Survivalblog and author of the novel Patriots, has always focused squarely on the thin veneer of society and all the possible ways it could quickly breakdown. You shouldn’t buy a Stephen King book expecting a romance and you shouldn’t buy a Rawles book expecting to be told how to prepare for a hurricane. If you want 3 to 5 day survival guidance read When All Hell Breaks Loose or Emergency Food Storage & Survival Handbook. Rawles is the guy who tells you how to survive for a year or more and, if you follow his guidance, when the hurricane or earthquake does come along you’ll be fine.
I would consider this book to be more of a handbook or introduction for long-term survival. For example, Rawles gives advice on guns you might want to own, but provides nothing on gunsmithing or reloading and very little on hunting. Having said that, I consider myself well prepared–not like Rawles, but much better than most and yet, as I read the book, I found myself making notes in the margin, “Check on this,” “Get more,” or “Have wife buy this.” The 307 pages are packed with information but, if you want more, the author provides titles for additional reading and links to many websites. Also, visit is website [...].
I criticized Rawles writing in my review of his novel Patriots. Fiction writing is significantly different from non-fiction writing. The author’s non-fiction writing is clean, concise and informative.
If you already have a few days food and water stocked up and a good first-aid kit but you want to be better prepared for yourself and your family, this is the book you want to read. It won’t tell you everything you need to know, that is not its purpose, but it will serve as a guide along the road of survival preparedness. I recommend it.
