The author is a former SERE instructor, and obviously knows his stuff. This book is based on the author's view that a EMP event, similar to the fictional event portrayed in William Forstchen's best seller "One Second After" and discussed at length in Ted Kopple's non-fiction book "Lights Out," as the most likely SHTF scenario that could bring about massive and disruptive change to our personal and national lives if it should ever happen. What Mssrs. Forstchen's book and Kopple's book were short on were specifics, like how to prepare for a possible EMP event happening. What gear do you need, what skills should you practice, where should you go, etc. They did a good job of realistically explaining what an EMP could do, but they pretty much left it at that. Hollerman's book fills the gap nicely, and he gets very, very specific. He doesn't claim to have all the answers, or even that his views will apply to most people, but he doesn't shy away from sticking his own neck out and stating his personal opinions which I like and respect. For instance, he bluntly says that his choice for personal sidearm in a grid down scenario would be a Glock. Period. No waffling. Now, I'm an HK fanboy (HK45C to be specific), it's just the platform I'm comfortable with. But I like the fact that he states his preference, and why he chooses it, and why you probably should as well. He encourages people to think about their own circumstances and apply this book as appropriate to their own lives without totally reinventing the wheel. One thing I wish the author or publisher had taken the time to include would be an index, thus I took away one star. Any guide or manual with this much extensive information really needs a searchable index. Maybe in a future edition?
Having recently read the book, I felt compelled to recommend it for those who are willing to consider the cold hard facts of some of the things you will face and some of the things you will need to consider after a major life-altering ‘worst-case-scenario’ event such as ‘grid-down’.Most every survival-preparedness book has its own flavor based on the author’s area of expertise, background, and the choice of focus. Jonathan Hollerman’s book draws on his own unique perspective as he presents his view on today’s ‘worst-case-scenario’ risks, and his advice on preparedness thereof…Upon reading the Preface, I was hooked. His words could have just as easily been my own as he provides a glimpse into his core thoughts and basis for the book itself… preparing for a worst-case-scenario.I found myself in agreement with much of what he had to say, and I enjoyed the fact that he is ‘hard hitting’ in his assessment of what we may face if and when the power grid goes down… it’s not necessarily for the faint of heart.I also was impressed with how he backed up his risk assessments with facts and references, as well as the many specific recommendations when it came to gear, techniques, etc..If I were asked what’s different or unique about this book compared to other preparedness books, here’s what comes to mind… While there are many ‘Preparedness 101’ books out there, this one is up front and ‘in your face’ about the realities of a long-term grid-down scenario and he doesn’t soften the blow. Folks, if this happens (‘when’ it happens?), (e.g. weaponized EMP, cyberattack or physical attack on the grid), and as the situation turns into ‘long-term’, most Americans are going to die.
