4 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Great FindBy JonnyThis book is loaded with U.S. Civil Defense programs; providing a history and verious examples of building designs. Not alot of pictures but very informative.21 of 23 people found the following review helpful. More opinion than fact in some casesBy Carl H.While the book does contain some enjoyable design descriptions; background materials; and good illustrations; I was disappointed by what I saw as the authors frequent attempts to promote his own opinions about the fallout shelter and Civil Defense programs; rather than just inform. I was further troubled that some of his statements or conclusions seemed more like revisionist history rather than historical fact. Finally; the quote on the back cover that fallout shelters are a peculiar manifestation of the US response to the Cold War is flatly false; as the Soviet Union and their satellite states had a huge fallout shelter program that included hardened civilian shelters that surpassed US civilian shelters in terms of design and numbers: the Warsaw Pact nations built blast resistant civilian shelters with pre-installed lighting; bunks; water tanks; standby generators; and decon showers; where Americas largely unhardened civilian shelters had plastic bags holding water in waxed cardboard barrels and crude chemical toilet barrels. The author totally failed to touch on important aspects such as ventilation and heat load issues or the means to deal with them; such as PVKs (packaged ventilation kits); the single or tandem stationary-bicycle driven fans that were intended to ventilate shelter space.
