Just because the author of your critique couldn't buy into the book, doesn't mean the book is utterly in error. I went back and checked my notes from the army's school for Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Warfare I attended in order to become the Chemical Officer for my outfit and those notes pretty well connect to the book. I also checked with some active duty guys in special forces for any updates to my 1980's era information (it has been awhile since I was on active duty!) Plus, his bio is pretty impressive: He is a Professor of History and Faculty Fellow at Montreat College, in Montreat, North Carolina. He received his doctorate from Purdue University, studying under the historian Professor Gunther E. Rothenberg, with specializations in Military History, the American Civil War and the History of Technology. From Wikipedia.

Neither the author of the critique or I say that the book is utterly in error.

Much is uncertain about EMP,

But the destruction of most items with an integrated circuit is very unlikely.

I personally know people involved in the EMP testing being done by the U.S. Army. I have toured the U.S. EMP test site

I was in U.S. Army RDT&E for over 30 years,
