CBRN: Surviving Chemical, Biological, Radiological & Nuclear Events: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "CBRN: Surviving Chemical, Biological, Radiological & Nuclear Events" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Chernobyl, Fukushima, weapons of mass destruction, chemical meltdown... These words inspire fear. But what are the real risks involved? Who could really be affected by a future event, and how does reality compare to fiction? What represents real dangers -- nuclear plants, industrial centres, government laboratories -- and how can regional or even global crises be handled by private individuals? Finally, what equipment and preparations really make sense in our world of potential catastrophes, and which of them are just a waste of time and money?

CBRN makes an immensely complicated subject accessible to non-specialist readers, covering the most pressing threats in the arena of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear disasters, and providing the know-how and the necessary information to distinguish myth from reality -- and to quickly and capably identify real risks, assess real situations and manage real emergencies, to keep us and our families safe.

Cris Millennium

C ris Millennium has been working in the Nuclear-Radiological-Biological-Chemical field since 2003. For several years, he served in the national CBRN unit of the National Gendarmerie, where he particularly contributed to the development of the scientific police deployed in contaminated environments before being selected to join the GIGN. For a six-year period, he acted as the head of the CBRN cell of this prestigious counterterrorism unit, offering advice to the authorities, defining detection and protection equipment and providing personnel training.

Since 2013, he has been active as a CBRN advisor for a certain foreign government. In addition to his established experience in genuine toxic environments (including VX, sarin, radiation, etc.) and his multiple specialised CBRN degrees, Cris Millennium holds a masters degree in biology, a postgraduate degree in forensic science and a masters degree in CBRN-E risk and threat management.

Piero San Giorgio

F or more than twenty years, Piero San Giorgio was responsible for the emerging markets of Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa in the domain of high-tech industry. Since 2005, he has been preparing for the collapse of the economy and studying different means of survival. His first book, entitled Survivre leffondrement conomique , was originally published in 2011 and is now an international bestseller. This success has turned Piero San Giorgio into a prominent spokesperson for the survivalist movement in the French-speaking world.

Translators Foreword

C onsidering the fact that the French language uses a different acronym for the books title compared to the English rendering, it may, at first sight, seem illogical, or at least inappropriate, to keep to the original chapter and section order, thus respecting the French acronym NRBC. This decision was, however, imposed upon me by the books content and the numerous references to later sections and chapters made by the authors themselves. It would therefore have been completely nonsensical to reorganise the whole book only to suit the English acronym CBRN while simultaneously disregarding the reference-related confusion that would result from such restructuring. In the absence of a better solution, the most reasonable option was to retain the original text in its entirety and structure and simply adapt the books title to reflect the English norm.

Preface by Dmitry Orlov

W e live in a dangerous world, a world rendered even more dangerous by the incessant technological developments which, for the most part, bring their own share of unexpected consequences before which technology itself is often left powerless.

The danger is all the greater when one is unable to identify it: our senses are ill-suited to detecting chemical contaminants and completely helpless when it comes to perceiving radioactivity or radiological contamination. As for the threat posed by microscopic pathogens, the ability of our immune system to resist them has, paradoxically, been compromised by improved hygiene and the use of antibacterial soap and antibiotics.

These dangers are exacerbated by other risks faced by our world, both present and future ones. The permanent safety of many of our industrial technologiesthose that manage radioactivity, virulent organisms and toxic substancesis based on our assumption of perpetual social stability . In the case of long-lived radionuclides such as uranium or plutonium, the period of social stability necessary to ensure their safe storage and their isolation from the environment is expected to last for thousands of years. History, however, teaches us that human societies never last that long.

Whenever a civilisation crumbles, what naturally follows is a dark age during which the population collapses, knowledge and literacy become a rarity, urban centres are abandoned and the few survivors must discover means of subsistence at much more primitive levels, all by themselves and without resorting to advanced technologies.

When will this happen?

Well, between you and me, we already live in an age when nation-states vanish ever more rapidly, millions of refugees roam the planet, and the financial systems that enable the very existence of globalised industrialised civilisation are in such a pitiful state that central banks are forced to use such bizarre devices as negative interest rates coupled with the unlimited issuance of fiat money.

But nothing lasts forever, and one should thus not ignore the possibility that weor our childrenmay experience periods of great uncertainty, confusion and chaos. Whatever happens, we all want to live happily and in good health and be filled with a sense of accomplishment, and we strive to provide the same for our children to enjoy. None of this, however, is possible without peace of mind, and knowing that the prospects for this well-being are ever uncertain, we are burdened with anxiety. Some of this anxiety is due to helplessness resulting from our conditioned obedience and an ignorance which we ourselves have actually desired: we have been taught to trust experts when it comes to our well-being and not to question them too much. But where will all these experts be once cities fall under the yoke of a people in revolt and become too dangerous to approach? To control our anxiety, we must learn to identify the risks and be prepared to face them.

This book describes the risks which we are least able to apprehend using our common sense, powers of perception and instincts. They belong to the domain of experts and, without sophisticated know-how and specialised equipment, one finds oneself completely defenceless when facing them. Even if we truly wanted to be able to deal with them, we could not, most of the time, even detect their presence. Nevertheless, by reading the information contained in this book and considering the option of a modest investment in protective equipment and detection (an investment that can sometimes be beyond the means of a single family, but remains conceivable at the level of a small community), one can overcome ones anxiety and regain the ability to lead a fulfilling life.

The threats are many, but the greatest of them all is simply embodied by panic. When people fall ill and none can determine the cause, society may well experience sudden collapse. And yet, panic could still be avoided should some well-informed people be able to explain to others what is happening and what they should and should not do.

You, too, can become one of these people. So, do not panic, and read this book!
