CITIZEN’S GUIDE TO STOPPING
SUICIDE ATTACKERS Secrets of an Israeli Counterterrorist by Itay Gil and
Dan Baron Airline hijackers, suicide bombers, fanatical gunmen,
homicidal drivers, hostage takers – for decades, these types of terrorists
have endangered the lives of innocent citizens worldwide. Now these
killers have targeted the United States. But are ordinary Americans
helpless in the face of this new threat?
Itay Gil – a veteran of Israel’s premier counterterrorist units and still
an active operator in the War on Terror – says no! By describing
the psychology and methods of suicide attackers, explaining how to summon
the right mind-set in a life-or-death situation, and providing explicit
instruction on instant submission and quick-kill self-defense techniques,
Gil and coauthor Dan Baron show how even unarmed civilians can fight back
and prevail against this new breed of determined killer. Just some of the
vital topics covered in The Citizen’s Guide to Stopping Suicide
Attackers include
-
facing off against knife-wielding airline hijackers alone or as a group, armed or unarmed
-
identifying and subduing suicide bombers before they can carry out their deadly mission
-
escaping from or disarming gunmen intent on mass murder
-
recognizing and responding to a crazed driver bearing down on a crowd
-
reacting correctly during the two most crucial stages of a hostage crisis
By absorbing the lessons in this book, you will be better prepared to confront the worst and stand up for yourself and your fellow citizens rather than helplessly accept the cruel death someone else has planned for you. That is the right and the duty of all civilized human beings in the 21st century. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, softcover, photos, 128 pp. £20.00/$38.50

CONCERNED CITIZENS GUIDE TO
SURVIVING NUCLEAR, BIOLOGICAL, AND CHEMICAL TERRORIST ATTACK by Fred H.
Lane The tragic events of September 11, 2001, vividly demonstrated that
America is no longer immune to terrorist attack. A little research into
the subject of likely terrorist weapons convinced the author, Fred Lane,
that Americans were most vulnerable to the threat of nuclear, biological
or chemical (NBC) warfare. Knowing that the American public was
essentially uneducated about how to survive such an attack, Lane has
prepared a user-friendly guide for the average citizen that explains what
to do before, during and after an NBC strike.
Written in simple, easily understood language, this book covers personal
protection equipment, decontamination agents and procedures, emergency
ready kits, emergency medicines, air filtration systems, emergency
shelters and sealed rooms and home preparedness supplies. But knowing what
you need isn’t enough, so Lane includes a list of suppliers to help you
locate reliable and affordable supplies and equipment.
This book eliminates the need for extensive research and condenses volumes
of material into a no-frills text that will provide you and your loved
ones with the skills and knowledge needed to survive a terrorist attack. 8

RECOGNIZING AND
TREATING EXPOSURE TO ANTHRAX, SMALLPOX, NERVE
GAS, RADIATION, AND OTHER LIKELY AGENTS OF TERRORIST ATTACK by Matt
Bolinger, MD Terrorists have in recent years used deadly biological and
chemical agents to attack civilian and government targets – ricin, a
highly potent toxin, was delivered via mail to a Senate office building in
Washington, D.C., in early 2004 – and the ever-present threat of a nuclear
incident is chilling to any sane person. Names such as anthrax and sarin
have become frighteningly familiar, but how many people know how to
identify and treat the effects of these weapons of terror?
Matt Bolinger, MD, combats fear with knowledge, presenting relevant and
useful facts on likely nuclear, biological and chemical agents of terror.
This book includes detailed descriptions of 29 toxins, viruses, gases and
other agents that could be used against individuals or large populations;
the symptoms these agents produce; treatment options; and ways to prevent
exposure. Also included are exam questions to help you test your
comprehension. Do you know which antibiotics should be used during plague
outbreaks? What to do in the event of a smallpox epidemic? The symptoms of
ricin exposure? How to prevent radiation poisoning? How to disinfect water
contaminated with botulinum toxin or cholera? This easy-to-follow book
could save your life. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, softcover,

FIRST-RESPONSE MEDICINE FOR
TERRORIST ATTACKS What to Do in the First 10 Minutes by Barry M. Miskin
During any medical emergency the actions taken during the first 10
minutes are the most critical, and this is especially true during a
terrorist attack. Medical professionals are unavailable during these
crucial first minutes, so it’s up to you to learn the skills to be a
medical “first responder” and take the appropriate action until help
arrives. This book will show you how.
Although written specifically for use during a terrorist attack, it is
invaluable in handling any medical emergency. It provides precise
instructions for assessing and treating burns, responding to impact or
blast injuries, preserving severed limbs, controlling bleeding,
decontaminating people exposed to toxic chemicals, administering CPR to
adults, children and even pets, and much more. It also trains caregivers
on how to protect themselves from explosive devices or exposure to
chemical, biological or nuclear contamination while treating others.
Included are checklists of supplies that you should have on hand in your
home, office and vehicle for urgent situations, as well as directions for
improvising medical equipment from readily available items at the scene.
First-Response Medicine for Terrorist Attacks should be
in every home, business, government office, school and vehicle in the
country. 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, softcover, illus., 96 pp.
£14.50/$30.50
