The books we’ve listed below are some of the best AND we know the authors personally. If you order from this page you will be helping us to spread the word about survival skills of all kinds.

Finally… If you checked out my BIO, you know that I was a member of the Army Security Agency while I was in the service.

More books are in the offing but this collection of stories from members of the Agency helps to set a framework and gives the reader a sense of the sort of minds were at work in the ASA in Vietnam and a few other locations around the world. |
