Product Description
Who will survive the nuclear war that many experts predict is coming? Life After Doomsday tells you how to survive through such a nuclear nightmare. It is an exhaustive investigation of the strategies needed to survive an atomic war, and of the problems that will face those who do live through it. One of the most comprehensive and up-to-date works ever compiled on modern survivalism, Life After Doomsday is also an excellent reference on surviving through any major disaster.

Chapter titles include:

It's A Disaster - A review of the many potential calamities which threaten our way of life.
Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Nuclear War - A factual discussion of nuclear weapons effects and the long-term consequences of nuclear warfare.
Home Sweet Hole - A discussion of shelter in the broadest sense, spanning several types of fallout and blast shelters, as well as shelters for hurricanes, winter storms, and even floods.
A Loaf Of Bread, A Jug Of Wine, And Chow - A review of survival self-sufficiency, focusing on storage of food, gardening, collecting wild edibles, hunting and fishing, alternative energy sources, and small rural communities as retreats.
Nobody Makes Housecalls Anymore - A guide to books, supplies, and equipment you will need to serve as your own doctor.
To Have And To Hold - The weapons, logistics, and tactics of group defense.
Wake Me When It's Over - The psychology of managing a group of people under the frightening and unfamiliar circumstances of nuclear war.

Life After Doomsday is the unique result of Bruce Clayton's broad scientific background and his conviction that the American people have been severely misinformed about the realities of nuclear conflict. This book is not only an extraordinary survival manual, but a scathing indictment of the special interest groups who have pushed the "end of the world" fantasy on an unsuspecting public. ...

Okay back in the day
I thought this was the do-all-end-all book when it came to doomsday.
But like alot of things in my youth, the glimmer faded.
This book is very dated (note author states the purchase of an HK 91 will only cost $500.00. Gunbroker price is $2000.00+ used.)
Apart from pricing issues the author fails to recognized in the event of a nuclear war most likely incomming multi-war head ICBM would be of the air bust variety, thus limiting the great amounts of nuclear fallout the autyhor states would be present.
All in all a good read. I'd look for more current applicable survival guides. Worth the price of a used copy.

Good product.
Interesting read, lots of information, a little dated though, written in 1981 and is more focused on nuclear bombs going off rather than anything else, not too bad.

Life After Doomsday
This is one of the best books on surviving disasters.The information is very well written, and covers all aspects of staying alive, and self sufficient in different scenarios.I enjoyed reading this book for its entertainment, and informative qualities.

If you are concerned about the possibility of any type of malfeasance befalling you and your loved ones this is the one of the first books you should read.It will give you a good background on how to deal with many issues you need to cover in order to survive: food & storage, selecting seeds and storage, planting, decontamination of people, food, & water.Security in the home, while in transit, defense of a fixed position, and things people often forget, like morale and fire safety, protecting communication devices from EMP.

The book even contains instructions on building air filters and pumps, and even Geiger Counters and Dose meters from house hold items.A must have for people concerned about the turbulent nature of the world today, or intellectuals who in joy learning for learning sake, this book is a must have for any collection!

How to Prepare for the Realities of Nuclear Conflict
Bruce Clayton's book was written during 1979 not too many years after Nixon frightened us with his threat - "I can go in to my office and pick up the telephone and in twenty-five minutes 70 million people will be dead"p15. Clayton's book was published in 1980 during the end of Carter's Presidency.Ronald Reagan's lot had been stirring up American fears of the "Red Scare", while Ed Clark's message of liberty was smothered by Demopublican independent John Andersen whose presidential campaign preserved the Demopublican one-party system.I purchased this book in 1980 while stationed on Shemya Island, where we watched the Soviets decay from their own corruption.It was difficult for me to take Clayton's fears on nuclear conflict seriously because the Soviets were technologically a joke!

Having said that, this was a well-written book IF there ever was to be a global nuclear conflict.And with Adolf Bush today playing lapdog to his British bosses, it is not beyond possibility that the Benedict Arnold will lob a few "limited" nuclear warheads around the globe on behalf of American-powered British empire.Clayton's book will be useful to those starving thirdworlders unfortunate to live atop black gold (oil) or opium fields.Clayton's survival information could help an Afghan (who don't even have a hot-air balloon let alone an air force!) to survive British or American nuclear strikes.

Clayton is an ecologist whose PhD research took him to Montana.He wrote "Since I was doing field research in an area liberally sprinkled with Minuteman missile silos, it was not long before my interests expanded to include the ecological consequences of a full scale thermonuclear war"(pix). He pooh-poohs the idea that nuclear conflict will destroy the earth 300 times over; in fact, he says this is all fantasy!There WILL be survivors, whether they intended to survive or not.And he believes that it is best to prepare for survival ("it is almost unavoidable"px) rather than muddle through it like the bookish bank teller (played by Burgess Meredith) in The Twilight Zone episode "Time Enough At Last" (1959).

Clayton's book contains 8 chapters with a preface and 7 appendices.The chapters are "It's a Disaster", "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Nuclear War", "To Flee or Not to Flee", "Home Sweet Hole", "A Loaf of Bread, A Jug of Wine, and Chow", "Nobody Makes Housecalls Anymore", "To Have and To Hold", and "Wake Me When It's Over".The appendices are "Nuclear Target Areas Within the United States", "Fallout Pattern Data", "Expedient Shelter Construction", "The Kearny Air Pump", "Supplementary Medical Information", "Special Radiological Information", and "The Kearny Fallout meter".

Clayton's book reveals that nuclear conflict is possible because survival is unavoidable - that alone is incentive enough to read this book.The turncoats in Washington are itching to put Clayton's hypothesis to the test.

A Classic!Still essential reading in the post Cold War era
Bruce Clayton's cold war vintage survival classic, Life After Doomsday, still makes worthwhile reading in the age of terrorist threats, North Korean ballistic missiles, Iranian nukes, and germ warfare.While some of the specific information, such as the location of counterforce targets (US missile and bomber bases)is out-dated, much of the insight remains valid.For the generation born after 1980, the book provides absolutely priceless perspective on the meaning of "The Cold War" and the risks faced by civilian and military alike during that era.The prospect of global nuclear war, a constant in the Reagan years, puts today's small scale terrorist threats into an entirely different perspective.

In fact Clayton remains one of the most concise, intelligent, and useful sources for any individual, family or group contemplating the dangers of contemporary life.It is a shame that Dr. Clayton, to date, has not applied his energy, intellect and unique insight to updating his work with information addressing the changes in the threat/probabilities along with the advances in technology useful in survival situations.It has been almost 25 years, the world has changed dramatically and we have had some new experiences from which to draw lessons.Come on Dr. Clayton, how about it!Until the 2nd edition is published, this is still about the best general source for contemporary survival advice available. ...
