A first-responder's field guide and classroom awareness-level training manual on the unique dangers associated with biochemical warfare agents, radiological dispersants, as well as more conventional incendiary, explosive and ballistic threats common in terrorism scenarios.

The target audience is all emergency responders; Firefighters, Paramedic/EMT and Law Enforcement, security personnel and industrial plant managers/facility managers responsible for in-house training and preparedness. The book presents specific coverage of unique threats relative to terrorist engagements (such as secondary devices and other booby traps designed to target Emergency Response Personnel).
