I've never seen another book like it. He goes through the various stages of collapse, giving you what to expect at each stage. A fascinating read that's hard to put down. How to prepare for the average man, whether you live in the city, suburbs or country. Not doom and gloom, nor does he mention a single conspiracy. I learned a metric ton of practical skills from this book, though, and highly recommend it.
A great book, though the author is a bit American in his religious indifferentism. He's a Catholic too, which makes it all the sadder. He would probably like to see another country just like America rise from the ashes (which many of us would disagree with), but that's only a few pages out of 400. Most of the book is pure gold.
