Title: One Second After by William R. Forstchen

Summary:
In a small North Carolina town, one man struggles to save his family after America loses a war that will send it back to the Dark Ages.

Already cited on the floor of Congress and discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a book all Americans should read, One Second After is the story of a war scenario that could become all too terrifyingly real. Based upon a real weapon – the Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) – which may already be in the hands of our enemies, it is a truly realistic look at the awesome power of a weapon that can destroy the entire United States, literally within one second.

This book, set in a typical American town, is a dire warning of what might be our future and our end.

My Comments:
At first I thought that this was going to be a long read, but it turned out quite good.  I am not a big fiction reader per se, but this really give you something to think about.  The fact that it is also possibly, although not likely, add to the mystique of it.   Really enjoyed it. I recommend it.
