Book Description

0873649265 978-0873649261 November 1, 1999
Many of the people who bought volume one of Ragnar's Action Encyclopedia contacted Ragnar to tell him they loved having all that vital information together in one book, but could he please include information in the next volume on choosing the right weapon, assembling a sniper rifle, taking out tanks and APCs, avoiding police entrapment, doing your own medicine, fighting back at the politicians and IRS . . . The result is Volume Two, with more than 40 all-new chapters on topics that could be critical to you after Y2K.

3.0 out of 5 stars Second edition is gutted, June 3, 2000
This review is from: Ragnar's Action Encyclopedia (Paperback)
Paladin took the good stuff (explosives, etc) out of all their books including Benson's books. Benson's books and anything from Paladin is now just NWO, PC babyfood. Too bad. Maybe, he, himself, will publish all the good stuff they ripped out.

2.0 out of 5 stars Another one bites the gunpowder, January 4, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Ragnar's Action Encyclopedia (Paperback)
Again we see an 'Action Encyclopedia' from Bensn, which turns out to be little more than exerpts of Paladin Press books, including quite a few titles from Ragnar re-hashed in what is generally a waste of your time. More B.S. explosives, including the 'improved C-4' formula. Interesting reading for those who aren't serious 'men of action.', but a waste of time for the rest of us.

This review is from: Ragnar's Action Encyclopedia (Paperback)
I was hoping for alot more detail. Some things were covered adequately however other topics were barely covered. Either way, both volumes are a good read for the adventurer, but just know that certain books shouldn't be cut down.
