5.0 out of 5 stars
Useful information...to the point,
By idig (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Attacks of Terror: Surviving the Unthinkable (Paperback)
Like the other reviewer, I found this book very helpful and easy to read. Although some may find some of the information to be 'common sense', there are tidbits and supplemental informtion that is not generally known.Also, much of this information can be used for surviving natural disasters, e.g. hurricanes, earthquakes, etc. With the recent events at Virginia Tech, I found the information very interesting and helpful. Highly recommended
