Everything That Follows Is Based On Recent Real Life Experience: Professional Survival Solutions
During my career as a military peace-keeper and foreign aid worker I've faced many life-threatening situations. In this book I've drawn on my experiences to create a unique compilation of 'survival solutions' for people who work abroad, for adventure travellers, for those contemplating going to remoter parts of the world, or for anyone who wants to know what to do when the going gets tough. There is advice here on everything from being attacked by angry animals to surviving earthquakes, escaping a burning building to flying without a pilot, and much more. In the course of my work I have built an airstrip in Burundi, helped deliver a baby to a Rwandan refugee on a Congolese roadside, navigated to safety when lost in the deserts of Chad and negotiated with a rebel warlord in Darfur. I hope you don't have to do the same. But if things get dangerous, this guide will help you survive. Have a safe trip.

As a military man and former Peace Corps volunteer, this book rings true with me. I've seen people come to foreign countries and get there ass handed to them by climate, sanitation, and cultural differences. The author seems like he covers a wide variety of subjects, though most very briefly.
Not quite a wilderness survival manual, "Everything that follows" is more harder to capture. It surely is a quick-and-dirty guide for living abroad in second- and third-world countries. But I feel like his coverage is only basic touchstones of knowledge. The reader can further supplement with other selections. Though, honestly, I can't think of another title that covers the same material.

Very useful information not usually found in emergency preparedness books. The book is also small enough to stuff into your bag before going on a trip.
