True self-reliance depends on making it through whatever obstacle you face, but also takes you to an improved place once the crisis has passed. Advanced Survival is a blueprint for the journey from dependence to independence, filled with practical how-to information and time-tested wisdom about food, water, shelter, medicine, sanitation, transportation, energy, home- and self-defense, and much more. So what are you waiting for? Learn what you need to know to get through any disaster . . . whenever it strikes.

Verdammt in alle Ewigkeit erzählt die Geschichte des Soldaten Prewitt, der kurz vor dem japanischen Angriff auf Pearl Harbour nach Hawaii kommt und brutal geschunden wird, weil er glaubt, auch als Soldat noch gewisse Rechte zu haben, nach einer Messerstecherei verwundet bei einer Freundin untertaucht und schließlich, mehr aus Versehen, erschossen wird. Mit der Veröffentlichung seines Romanerstlings 'From Here to Eternity' entfesselte James Jones 1951 heftige Diskussionen in Amerika. Dort, wie auch in Deutschland, wo der S. Fischer Verlag das Buch noch im selben Jahr herausbrachte, übertraf die schonungslos realistische Schilderung des Soldatenlebens bei weitem das Maß, das der Leser in jenen Jahren vertrug. Aber die erzählerischen Qualitäten von 'Verdammt in alle Ewigkeit' verhalfen dem Buch zu seinem Siegeszug um die Welt, auf dem ihm wenig später der Film folgte. Heute zählt der Roman zu den Klassikern der amerikanischen Nachkriegsliteratur.
