Book Reviews of Secrets Of Street Survival - Israeli Style: Staying Alive In A Civilian War Zone
Book Review: I live only a mile from a "Civilian War Zone".
Summary: 5 Stars
Ah ha! Now this book caught my eye in a way you wouldn't believe! Most of you already know that I live in a city called Ferndale in Michigan. I live by 9-mile road, which is exactly one mile from...you guessed it: the dreaded 8-Mile road. 8-mile is a very long road that spans a huge distance. On the north-side of it, where I live, it is relatively calm and easy-going. But on the Detroit side, Whoa man! Crime and homeless people EVERYWHERE! Apparently people can just come up to a building and paint their name on it, and break glass all over the street, and even come up to your car at a red-light and ask for money and rides and cigarettes. Basically it seems to me that there are NO rules and NO sense of order, thus making it: A Civilian War-Zone, just like the title of this book.
Basically this book has changed the way I look at the world now. I realize that I must constantly be prepared for immenant danger whenever I'm near the war-zone. I am aware of my surroundings much more now, and everywhere I go I am scoping out EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY. For example, if I take a walk now, or go up to a store, I look at every single item around me and think "I could get attacked RIGHT NOW, so how could I use this (any item in question) as a weapon?" I use this thought proccess now, not only when I'm close to 8-mile, but every single place I find myself during the day. I'm going to make a statement now that I am 100% confident in: I can find a way to make anything, and I mean ANYTHING into a deadly weapon if I so choose. If I can't find a way to smack you to death with it, or grind it into your pressure-points, I will find a way to gouge you in the eyes with it or put it down your throat or ANYTHING I want. Now believe me, I'm not trying to scare you guys AT ALL. I'm just preparing myself for the inevitable tangle with a mugger (a simple rope on the ground could be used to strangle him/her) or a car-jacker (try a hot-coffee to the face and then slashing at him/her with something as simple as a compact disc), things of that nature.
Other things I do that have become second-nature thanks to this book, are things like checking my VW Cabrio everyday for car-bombs. Also, whenever I'm around a crowd I size it up because this book teaches you "the psychology of a riot" so I will be prepared when one breaks out around me. It also teaches you sword-fighting and axe-fighting techniques which could be extremely useful, depending on the situation. The only thing I can't relate to is about how to conceal fire-arms on-you and in your car. I don't own any because I'm more of a close-quarters combat kind of guy (like Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse or Steel Dawn).
In conclusion, I feel much safer now that I am able to view every single situation in my day-to-day life as a likely threat to my life. Everyone I come across now is a potential enemy. Once again, not trying to scare you guys, but you probably don't live as close to the legendary 8-mile as I do. It's hard-living sometimes when you think about the urban crime zone that is right across the street from you (literally!) Sorry if this was hard for you to relate to, I don't expect you guys to understand. Check out this book if you do though. It will save your life someday, guaranteed. Later.
