As the author points out, a person is much more likely to die on the job or from illness than be a victim of terrorism. However, terrorism can be so desctructive and all-encompassing, and blown out of proportion by the media, that we fear it more than common, everyday, more threatening dangers. With terrorism on the rise, and its pattern too random to predict, everyone should have some familiarization with what to do should some catastrophe strike you or your family. This book provides useful advice for potential victims, without working one up into a survivalistic frenzy.

The book is not without its drawbacks. It does take almost 2/3 of the book discussing terrorism and its tools from recent and not so recent events, before ever getting to the useful information. However, when it does get to that information, it's more than worth the price paid for the book. Useful advice on first aid, items to keep on hand, things to do should you be attacked, along with more common sense approaches to everyday threats are contained here. As one of the first post 9/11 terrorism books written, this should be studied, if only to see how our strategies are changing in dealing with the terrorism of today.
