This review is from: The Poor Man's James Bond (vol. 1) (Paperback)

As a USDI-National Park Ranger I completed a 13-week POST Basic (Police) Academy in the late 1970s. Kurt Saxon was an instructor (sans a few fingers) who showed up one day with a high-powered German pellet gun and proceeded to show us how to kill humans by firing into a very large roast beef. He then cut open the roast to show the depth of penetration (simulating a human skull and brain). He had our undivided attention!

Another demonstration was how to clear a room or bar in 30 seconds with common household materials and so forth. His missing fingers only added to his credibility. The result was as if we had been allowed to peer into Pandora's box for a few minutes and then allowed to close the lid without long-term consequences.

For those with maturity, responsibility and long-term ethics, this is a guide on how to be aware of those around you. Just as Mentos and soft drinks are a current curiosity, Saxon tells you what to do and what to be aware of. Saxon speaks from first-hand experience in civil rights demonstrations. Read and enjoy, but be aware, not everyone is well intentioned . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars knowledge is power and this is powerful knowledge!, July 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Poor Man's James Bond (vol. 1) (Paperback)

This is the most information packed book I have ever read! After reading this book, I understood the value of knowledge. This book teaches chemistry in a way that you can use and is easy to Understand. If a small percent of any nation's people knew this material, their government would never become a tyrant and other nations would be afraid to invade. This is powerful knoledge that can save your life (or get you killed)! Be sure to read all of it before begining any mixing of chemicals. He gives must know safety information with each chemical or project.

Now the bad news: After reading this book, TV and movies will never be the same! All the BS they use becomes easy to spot and it ruins the movie! It becomes obvious that the script writer is woefully ignorant and you are not! Their movie will quickly become childish or seem stupid to you. Want to realy know something of value? Then study this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Surivial Handbook or Mainstream Anarchist Cookbook, March 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Poor Man's James Bond (vol. 1) (Paperback)

There is a storm of contraversity reagarding this book. Kurt Saxon is well known survivalist whose work is sometimes misunderstood as guide to terrorism, but in fact the book deals with broader subjects of how to survive if civilization collapse. The majority of the work should be required reading for people is high risk weather areas. Very few people would know how to survive for prolonged period without electricity or how to perserve food. With El Nino, Asteroids, and earthquake, this book may be the most valuable book you'll ever own.
