A note about 2 of them: FIGHTING CHANCE: TEN FEET TO SURVIVAL is a book that demystifies the REAL effects of nuclear weapons and shows how one can protect the populace from nuclear attack for $300 per person, which INCLUDES 1 year of food. A book of principles and concepts, it is not a nuts-and-bolts book that tells you how thick the metal should be, which brand of filter, etc. This is all covered in their newsletter and blueprints. The best nuts-and-bolts book on nuclear war is Cresson Kearney's "Nuclear War Survival Skills". NUCLEAR WAR SURVIVAL SKILLS 1987 which you can buy from Ken Seger for $6 (by calling his BBS at 314-821-2815). If you want him to mail the book to you, send $1 or $1.50 to cover postage and the price of the mailer.
