I've not read the others you mentioned but have read this. It has tons of information while written in a fictional setting.
A friend and I were talking this book just today. The veneer of decent society is just that, a veneer. When you take away food and water, things can get ugly pretty fast.

His book is a layman's guide to preparing for SHTF. He covers most of the basics without being too general or overly specific.
