Packed with helpful how- to diagrams, photos and illustrations, the design is super-engaging, making it easy for readers to engage with the text.
Kicking off with “Surviving in the Wild”, we first learn about the importance of preparation through the three ps (planning, preparing and packing wisely) before discovering tips for surviving the cold and the heat.
Once armed with intel about the likes of making shelters and fire, and finding water, the protecting your mind” chapter could come in handy in situations beyond the wild outdoors, which neatly leads onto the book’s other focus. Namely, “Surviving in the City”, which covers things like what do to in an emergency if you’re home alone, and how to respond if you’re stuck in a lift or trapped in a car.
With another section devoted to “Surviving Online”, which includes the hazards of chatrooms, cyberbullying, doxing, and social media, this is a lucid, valuable handbook.

About Andy McNab
From the day he was found in a carrier bag on the steps of Guy's Hospital in London, Andy McNab has led an extraordinary life. As a teenage delinquent, Andy McNab kicked against society. As a young soldier he waged war against the IRA in the streets and fields of South Armagh. As a member of 22 SAS he was at the centre of covert operations for nine years - on five continents. During the Gulf War he commanded Bravo Two Zero, a patrol that, in the words of his commanding officer, 'will remain in regimental history for ever'. Awarded both the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) and Military Medal (MM) during his military career, McNab was the British Army's most highly decorated serving soldier when he finally left the SAS. Since then Andy McNab has become one of the world's best-selling writers, drawing on his insider knowledge and experience. As well as several non-fiction bestsellers including Bravo Two Zero, the biggest selling British work of military history, he is the author of the best-selling Nick Stone and Tom Buckingham thrillers. He has also written a number of books for children. Besides his writing work, he lectures to security and intelligence agencies in both the USA and UK, works in the film industry advising Hollywood on everything from covert procedure to training civilian actors to act like soldiers. He continues to be a spokesperson and fundraiser for both military and literacy charities.
