Customer Reviews

Absolutely Essential -- and Fascinating

I can't tell you how much better I feel having this book in my house. I hope I won't ever need it for emergency purposes, but I've appreciated looking up certain chemicals and biological agents that I hear about in Iraq. This is fascinating, no-nonsense, stripped-down just-the-facts information. Thank you, Dr. Acquista.

Essential reading

Given the current state of affairs, I would advise everyone to buy this book or something similar.It effectively outlines procedures that we should all be aware of in the case of specific attacks such as: Botox Attacks, Anthrax Concerts, Chicken Pox Weapons, and Weapons of Mass Distraction.I for one will be sealing up my windows with velvet, destroying my microwave, and covering my children with maple syrup.

Absolutely essential info

The author is right: knowledge is the antidote to terror and fear. And this has everything you could want to know about every kind of threat. Calm intelligent advice. I'm less worried now and more prepared. Information really can make a difference. Plus it's fascinating.
