I just finished reading "One Second After" which addresses such a scenario as an EMP wiping out the entire electric grid in this country as well as frying any and all electronics.......

Just for grins ... Is that a non-fiction or fiction book?

“One Second After” is a fact-based work of fiction.

In a hypthothetical future scenario, ‘someone’ uses various container ships to launch several EMP nukes over much of the western world.

The story revolves around a gentleman in a small town east of Ashville, NC. (Black Mountain)

The story literally begins one second after the pulses kill all the electronics.

It is technically sound except for one story element involving a particular piece of hardened government property. But aside from that it is technically ‘right’. IT is very much a story of honor, courage and commitment. It also gives you a view into a very plausible what-if.

I recommend it as a work of fiction at worst (far better than Dale Brown) and a life-changing societal commentary at best. It WILL move you emotionally at times.
