Inspired by past discussions along the line, what about a 2023 Preparedness "Whatcha Read'n?" thread? I'll get this party started.
Finished these two in the first couple weeks of the year:
Every Home a Fortress: Cold War Fatherhood and the Family Fallout Shelter, by Thomas Bishop (2020, University of Massachusetts Press). This one was, naturally, more history than preparations. Though it did thoroughly cover the Quixotic attempt at shelters in the early Cold War. It is part of series covering various topics from that era.
Hollywood's Cold War, by Tony Shaw (2007, University of Massachusetts Press). This text is in the same series as the aforementioned. The book presents a fascinating study of American (and lesser extent allied) cinema during the Cold War. And, yes, as the cover implies, there is Red Dawn (1984) coverage.
Suburban Defense, by Don Shift. I really picked this one up on a lark as I don't live in the suburbs, nor have any interest in ever doing so. It is also independently published and from an author I never heard of. However, what little I've read so far, has been interesting. It was written by a police officer who, according to the text, has written a lot of fictional SHTF material as well.
Anywho, whatcha reading prep-wise circa 2023? Thanks for sharing!
