Book Description
Two decades on from 9/11, the Taliban now control more than half of Afghanistan. Few would have foreseen such an outcome, and there is little understanding of how Afghans living in Taliban territory have navigated life under insurgent rule. Based on over 400 interviews with Taliban and civilians, this book tells the story of how civilians have not only bargained with the Taliban for their survival, but also ultimately influenced the course of the war in Afghanistan. While the Taliban have the power of violence on their side, they nonetheless need civilians to comply with their authority. Both strategically and by necessity, civilians have leveraged this reliance on their obedience in order to influence Taliban behaviour. Challenging prevailing beliefs about civilians in wartime, Negotiating Survival presents a new model for understanding how civilian agency can shape the conduct of insurgencies. It also provides timely insights into Taliban strategy and objectives, explaining how the organisation has so nearly triumphed on the battlefield and in peace talks. While Afghanistan's future is deeply unpredictable, there is one certainty: it is as critical as ever to understand the Taliban--and how civilians survive their rule.

Book Description
Bartering is a skill that you will have to learn if you want to survive and thrive in a post-apocalyptic world.One of the hardest parts of living following a nationwide disaster is that the banking system will be crippled and the economy will collapse even worse than the Great Depression or the Great Recession. No matter how much cash you have in your hand, it will be useless because no one will want it.On the other hand, everyone will want basic physical items that will help them survive for just a few days longer or at least help make their lives easier, such as food, medicine, ammunition, alcohol, coffee, seeds, baking soda, soap, toothpaste, toilet paper, or spices.These are the items that you will need to stockpile not only for yourself, but for trading with others as well.If the economy ever collapses and a bartering system emerges, the only way you will be able to gain more of an item you are running low of is if you have another valuable item to give in return. You must learn proper bartering and negotiation strategies to ensure a fair trade so you won't get ripped off. That's exactly what this book is about.In this book, we will outline and discuss in-detail the top twenty bartering strategies (plus a bonus strategy at the end) and with some real world examples of how business people use these strategies every day to help illustrate them for you.Examples of the strategies and tips this book will talk about include:- The top items you need to stockpile for bartering - Why bartering is harder than you think- How to decide where and when the negotiation will take place- Building rapport with the other party before the bartering begins- Increasing the value of what you are trading- Decreasing the value of what the other party is trading - How to control the flow of the negotiation - Using psychology to sway the other party if they are undecided or leaning no- Having an exit strategy in place If you currently have limited knowledge on negotiating and bartering with strangers and you want to expand this knowledge, this book will be a must read.Perhaps the best part of this book is you don't only have to use the negotiating strategies you're about to learn after a disaster. You can also easily utilize them in your everyday life, such as when buying a new car or house, as well.

Book Description
We have all heard of ways that could lead to a post apocalyptic world. A zombie outbreak that rapidly takes over the world, or some other mutant strain of a seemingly harmless virus that spreads through the air killing millions of people. Whether it be a series of natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, hurricanes, etc), or a pandemic threat spreads throughout the world, or even a picture perfect textbook zombie outbreak, the prospect is frightening and yet alluring. The possibilities for the "end of the world" don't just stop there. Nuclear war is a very serious and a very real threat to our civilization, as well as an asteroid smashing into the earth. Regardless of what could ultimately bring civilization to its knees, it is a very real and frightening prospect. Surviving the worldwide disaster is just the beginning. After it's all over, we are left with the pieces of what once was and we must learn how to adapt to a whole new world. We take for granted a lot of what we have, technology, government, prepackaged food, not to mention the surplus of food, retail stores, clothing, and so much more. All of these things will be gone in this new world. Even gasoline will oxidize and become useless. Maybe not right away, but over time all of the resources left from civilization as we know it now, will dwindle and eventually vanish. The only way to survive is to acquire skills in which compensate for these losses. There are two enormous factors that people seem to overlook when they think about the "end of the world". We currently live in a world where we have forgotten how to feed ourselves, all of our nutrients and vitamins are included in many of our store bought food thanks to the FDA. Maybe people think hunting will be they're golden ticket, however, many of the necessary nutrients and vitamins that we consume on a daily basis will not be met by a meat diet. Kids are no longer taught what foods give us what nutrients and minerals, or how much of each we need daily. Without key nutrients like iron, iodine, vitamin A, zinc, etc, you're in for some frightening consequences such as anemia, rashes, and decreased functioning of the immune system. This brings me to the second factor, disease. We take for granted our access to vaccines and medications. Without these being readily available many people will succumb to disease and infections. These factors and more only perpetuate the need to learn how to barter and negotiate. Trading things you have for things you need is a basic concept that has been around for years. By knowing the ins and outs of this seemingly lost art you will have the advantage in a post-apocalyptical world. Do you need antibiotics for a nasty cut or seeds to start farming? Trade for it. The subjects this book will cover include the following:* The Importance of Learning Bartering/Negotiating Techniques* How to Negotiate A Successful and Peaceful Trade* The Most Valuable Bartering Items to Stockpile* The Risks of Conducting Business In A World Without Rules* Negotiation/Bartering Mistakes to Avoid By knowing how and what to barter and trade it will open up possibilities and ensure a much greater chance at surviving this cold and quiet new world. Learning this simple skill will not only help you survive but thrive in a seemingly hopeless grid down scenario.
