During the 1940s, Britain suffered a national catastrophe that would become known as The Great Tribulation by its survivors. The remnant of His Majesty’s Government formed a department known as The Ministry of Survivors; the mandate of this office was to help, guide, and inform the public through the anarchy around them. They produced and issued a handbook known as The Citizen Survivor’s Guidebook. This is an audiobook of a surviving copy of the 2nd edition of The Citizen Survivor’s Guidebook.

This audiobook attempts to answer as many of those questions as possible through an informal, narrative style. It focuses on the overall experience and the feelings and emotions of the people going through it rather than just on facts and figures.
