Bruce D. Clayton (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2002

What do you need to know to protect your family in today's world? To begin, you need to know the history of terrorists - who they are and what methods they use. You need to have some knowledge of chemistry, microbiology, genetics, physiology and anatomy. You must learn about hazardous materials, radiological defense and nuclear weapons effects. You need to know about food and water storage and escape routes from where you live and work. It helps to know what emergency management and disaster response look like from the inside. What you really need is the help of Dr. Bruce Clayton, author of the nuclear-survival classic, Life After Doomsday. In Life After Terrorism Dr. Clayton takes a look at today's terrorist threats, assesses their dangers realistically and explains in practical terms what you can do to reduce your risks. Hopefully, your family will never be the victims of a terrorist attack, but after September 11, do you want to bet on it? When your loved ones' lives are at stake, you can't afford to be naive or make mistakes. Prepare now for life after terrorism.

5.0 out of 5 stars His Pen is Mightier Than Their Sword, September 28, 2002

This review is from: Life After Terrorism: What You Need to Know to Survive in Today's World (Paperback)

If you are looking for the answers to some of today's big questions, you will find them in Life After Terrorism. You will also find the details of how to enjoy a safer and less-worried life in post-9/11 America. For example, do you have a boogie bag ready to go? If not, Bruce Clayton will persuade you why you need one and what to put in it.
As an author and an editor I found this book to be an absolute joy to read. Several possible scenarios, the problems they present, and their solutions are laid out logically and clearly. I found myself checking my lifestyle to see how it compares with Dr. Clayton's suggestions for having a safer life after terrorism. His humor keeps the pages turning without letting you lose sight of the fact that the book is to be used as a tool to ensure your survival-in as much as anything can.
After reading the book, my only question was: Why can't we have someone like Bruce Clayton running our country?

This review is from: Life After Terrorism: What You Need to Know to Survive in Today's World (Paperback)

For those unfamiliar with Dr Clayton's research, this book is a companion to his previous work, Life After Doomsday. Both volumes are essential reference for anyone seeking the myriad and potentially catastrophic scenarios, both manmade and natural, facing modern civilization. In Life After Terrorism, Clayton presents a realistic if frightening view of the global threat posed by a multitude of terrorist acts. His in-depth discussion of exposure to various biowarfare agents is especially chilling. Following the common-sense suggestions in this book can increase your chances of survival in the event of a terrorist attack. Read it and be prepared!
