 I hope to never be in such a circumstance, but there are some books that are touchstones:
 maybe a Bible, maybe for some, Knight's Modern Seamanship (there was
a fellow, one of my superiors, named Kurtz, at my job who - for real -
had a copy of that in his office), possibly Gravity's Rainbow...just
musing here

Kurtz, you say?  Perhaps Heart of Darkness should be added to your list.
