It's dealt with in depth in the book, but here's a snippet from the less heavy 'How to Live on Mars' also by Zubrin. I shan't quote word for word, or in great detail in case he somehow finds me and gets annoyed, but...
>If your main concern from the lack of magnetosphere is solar flares and other radiation you have little to worry about; 12grams per cm^2 is enough to prevent all but very few ionised partlcles from solar flares or the sun- and what little atmosphere Mars has is more than thick enough; 21g/cm^2 when looking straight up and and average of 65g/cm^2 averaging all potential slantwards paths.
There's a lot more on Borated water ice and cosmic rays (&and a great deal on most of the problems and how to solve them) in both books, and they're both very well written and full of interesting facts.
He has several other books on the subject. I am especially fond of his humorous book How to live on Mars. https://www.amazon.com/How-Live-Mars-Guidebook-Surviving/dp/0307407187/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8
