redrocker:
"Warwolf," Hermann Loens in English translation.  This is the story of a community that survived the 30 Years' War (1618-1848) in lowland Germany by becoming self-sufficient and creating a large posse to protect their homesteads.  The book is very well-researched historical fiction, and it is believed to be a highly-accurate account of life after an economic collapse with general mayhem occurring all around.  If you want to be a prepper community organizer, I strongly recommend reading it, take extensive notes, and then check off which economic and defense measures the characters in the book used, that you would also want to use.  Some ideas you might want to discard -- like hanging poachers' bodies from tall trees and leaving them there to rot -- or maybe you want to adopt those same measures.  Like "One Second After," it gets very real and very brutal, very fast.  The only other book of its nature was written near the end of the 17th century and included some contemporaneous accounts (I have read that one as well), and is in great agreement with "Warwolf."  The contemporaneous accounts were even more gruesome than those in Warwolf, if anything.  For example:  How many people went out on hunting parties for meat, where the game were other humans?  Answer:  After a time, almost everyone.  Those who had a moral objection to cannibalism simply died off, leaving only the cannibals still alive.
