Malice Aforethought The History of Booby Traps by Ian Jones. Author worked in bomb disposal in the British Army and is now an explosives officer for the Metropolitan Police Force Bomb Squad in London. In Italy in 1943 British troops came upon a highly desirable billet abandoned by the retreating Germans, its front door invitingly half open. Entering cautiously through a window, to avoid the likely booby trap, they approached the front door from inside and found attached to it the expected explosive charge apparently designed to function when the door was moved. They left the house and attached a line to the doorknob of the front door. They retreated across the road to a conveniently sited slit trench and pulled the line. A second trap hidden in the trench and connected to the door exploded and killed them all. This fiendish and lethal attack illustrates the effectiveness of booby traps and the ingenuity with which they can be laid. Includes the malicious use of explosives in booby traps and sabotage devices from WWI to Vietnam and explores the devices' design, development, deployment, and effectiveness. Hardbound, 240 pages.

Survivalists no longer have to fear invading Russian armies or nuclear war ­ the deadly actions at Ruby Ridge and Waco prove that our own government is among the greatest threats to individual freedom today.

In this new book, Ragnar revisits such nuts-and-bolts items as picking a retreat location and stocking it properly, but he also addresses such vital issues as pinpointing which government agency is the greatest threat to you; recognizing "trip wire" events that tell you when to occupy your retreat; finding like-minded retreaters through traditional and new avenues; using new technology, from power generators to the Internet, to survive; responding effectively to government propaganda against you; prevailing against massive government resources and weapons during a siege; and much more.
