Feel free to post links to books that are freely available (nothing pirated, please) and germane to survivalism and/or egregious abuses of government power. Here are a few to get you started:

Civil War II (fiction, but its scary how prophetic the author was when he wrote this)

Lights Out

Unintended Consequences

Absolved

DefaultThe Frontier In American History

Fredrick Jackson Turner's "The Frontier In American History"

Turner: The Frontier In American History


No practical information for survival but important for understanding America. Also one of the most influential books in American history. (You can look it up in Wiki for the condensed version).
