Gear Up for Surviving A Nuclear War: Todays World And Its Inevitable Nuclear Fallout; Lear All The Nuclear War Survival Skills.

Good read, book of good quality and material. (Overall pointless read as there will be no winners. And I’ll survival, if nuclear war should break) but the book was well written while presented.Book made of good quality paper, I have read better prep books. But I will give. This book 8/10 as an Prepper.

The main and only issue I have with this book is that whilst it gives helpful information on blast and fallout shelters, it also tells you that fallout shelters are a) virtually useless within 300 miles of a blast zone, that you'd need at least ten square feet per person, which is considerably larger than most people would have, if they have any not to mention the enormous cost of building these things. My point being, this book is fantastic to consider everything from stockpiling to understanding the basics, but it would serve the general populace better if it explained far better how one were to survive fallout, if possible for two weeks at home, which is what most people outside of a ten click blast zone will have. Fir example there are barely a couple of paragraphs devoted to sanitation and even then, only if you have a invested thousands in an built correctly sited fallout shelter conveniently 300 miles from wherever a blast might be. A book focusing practically on people who Who have no choice but to shelter at home and what our odds were then would have been far more useful. Its good, its not that good because neither me, nor 9 tenths of the world population have access to the kind of resources to operate he is suggesting. Passable alternatives and odds of survival in them given the liklihood of what most people will have access to would have been an infinitely better use of page space, that, or add another few chapters telling us.

Considering the times we’re living, I find it extremely important to be knowledgeable, informed and prepared for adversity, and things that are well out of our control. It is true that in a difficult situation we can only control they way we react, and this book goes through - in a simplified and practical way - steps we must take in the case of a nuclear war. I found the author goes into details we never even considered before, and tries to inform without founding fear but showing us that in preparation and learning, we will succeed.

Even if surviving a direct nuclear strike is practically impossible, if the bomb falls only few kilometers away from your location, even an improvised DIY shelter build in the basement can suffice to resist the blast and shield the radiations just enough to save your life.This book give quite a lot of information to gear up and, prepare a shelter and survive in case of a nuclear war.

All in all a good summary of what might come to us. Mendoza lays down all major aspects of Nuclear War and preparedness on about 130 pages. Gets you from zero right into the topic, within a few hours. Recommendation for everyone who has not yet thought intensely about the possibility of nuclear war.

The introduction does a good job of hooking the reader, teasing out the content of the forthcoming chapters, and piquing the reader's interest. Clearly, if you're picking up a book on such a specific topic then you've already some interest, and yet, if you ARE picking up a book on this topic, you also know there is a lot of dross out there. In this case, that fear is unfounded.The next section is all about the author. Here I often skip to the meat of the book and yet I'm glad I didn't. I wanted to know who was writing this and why, as the wrong answer could well have turned me off the book straight away: I don't want "just" some prepper who might know general survival information: and here I wasn't disappointed to learn that the author is a Doctor of Nuclear Physics from McGill University.There are some good scientific/factually-supported explanations of radiation to help you understand the seriousness and relevance of the advice which follows.Personally I enjoyed the historical section in Chapter 2 " Is Nuclear War Inevitable?" as it sets out the context and geopolitical issues around the potential use of nuclear weapons.Advice given in the chapter about evacuating and/or sheltering in place was very clearly laid out and explained. Explaining WHY each time seems super important so as to be able to convince the reader to make the right choice according to the situation: excellent cause and effect arguments.Details about food and water needs, and advice for storage, made for an interesting read. There was a really useful breakdown of the type of supplies needed, the reasons, and also advice on how to store these.I particularly liked the chapter about communications, with a historical and contextual explanation of government research and actions. I then really was surprised, pleasantly so, to the author address mental health and the impacts on survivors : I've never seen that addressed in this type of literature before and it seems perfectly sensible to reflect on this both in advance of, and (heavens forbid) during an attack.The book covers a lot more than I've mentioned above but I found it a wide-ranging, informative and authoritative-sounding guide to the situation. It's clearly US based, which is fine, and yet this doesn't seem to take away from its relevance to those based elsewhere. I very much appreciated the calm tone (as some authors in the field can tend towards over dramatisation and shock tactics). There was a common thread throughout of hope, and of having control over one's destiny, should the worst happen. A worthy read: thank you!
