Author: Jacob Maccabee Copyright Date: 2014 Publisher: Xlibris LLC ISBN: 978-1-4931-5760-0 Amazon Link: Journal of a Deserter Audio, e-book or foreign translation available: No Suitable for children: No This is more a story of recovery than one of preparedness, but it does spend a bit of time on wilderness survival skills, and I expect many in the SurvivalBlog audience will appreciate the struggle.
