The Civil Defense Manual by Jack Lawson is the definitive guide to protecting your home, family, and neighborhood when it matters most. Spanning over 950 pages across two volumes, it covers everything from building your own Neighborhood Protection Plan™ to surviving natural disasters, civil unrest, pandemics, and more — written in plain language anyone can understand.
Because the spirit that built this nation wasn’t just courage. It was preparation.
Honor 250 years of America… Prepare to protect the future.
