About this title

Synopsis

Attention, citizens and fellow travelers of the Cold War: Survive the Bomb is your family’s ultimate fallout shelter companion. Keep this book at the ready next to the emergency drinking water and vacuum-packed canned meats and vegetables for that moment when the saber-rattling between the world’s superpowers turns Atomic.



Here are all the tips and information you’ll need to keep your family safe and secure:

·A convenient set of Civil Defense carrying cards for your wallet or purse

·Steps for the home handyman toward building a well-furnished fallout shelter

·How to convert your home’s snack bar into a cozy secondary shelter

·A checklist of items you’ll need close at hand while awaiting the “all-clear” message from local authorities

·An Operation Survival! comic, including a crossword puzzle and quiz for the kids

·Revealing studies, reports, and recommendations to the United States Congress and President

·Wargame scenarios, aftermath descriptions, and casualty estimates at various distances from a nuclear blast

·An introduction and commentaries by Cold War historian Eric G. Swedin



Be alert and be prepared. Don’t let a little thing like an atomic particle spoil your day.
