Surviving Terrorism
by Rainer Stahlberg

Survival expert Rainer Stahlberg offers this practical look at terrorism in today's world, its tools and tactics, its manifestations and consequences, and the many successful ways the average citizen can protect oneself from these insidious threats. This timely situational field manual is ideal for anyone wondering what may be coming next in the terrorist war against the United States and other Western nations.

In the wake of the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Americans rushed to buy gas masks and to stockpile antibiotics against anthrax and other infectious diseases. But was this the right thing to do? This comprehensive guide helps individuals to understand, anticipate, and respond to a variety of terrorist acts: hijacking, incendiary devices, chemical and biological contamination, hi-tech terrorism, and nuclear and radiological warfare.

Rainer Stahlberg was born in Budapest, Hungary. He left home at the age of sixteen after being wounded in the Hungarian Revolution in 1956. After forays into many different occupations, including as a soldier and freedom fighter, Mr. Stahlberg worked his way from Eastern Europe to Canada. He has worked as a chemist, mathematician, project engineer, metallurgist, systems analyst and administrator, independent consultant, and firearms safety instructor.
