Modern Ballistic Armor: Everything You Need to Know (clothing, bomb blankets, shields, vehicle protection), by Duncan Long (TPB, 1986, $2)
The back cover reads as follows: "Modern Ballistic Armor details how to shield yourself from bombs and bullets. Or do you feel lucky?" This book was written in 1986, but it is still interesting. It is filled with photos, statistics and diagrams. I especially liked the photo of a police officer who had been shot in the chest with a .375 Magnum from one inch away. Not just is he still alive, but he is smiling!
Look for this book on the new non-fiction table, avail. 9/27.
