One Second AfterA nuclear weapon detonated high over the U.S. would produce something called an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) effect, a blast of electromagnetic waves that would short-circuit electrical components such as power grids and circuits that allow you to start a car. One minute we’re an advanced high-tech society; the next, we’re plunged back into the 18th century.

Military historian Bill Forstchen has a written a book titled, One Second After, a fictionalized account of what would happen in the aftermath of an EMP attack on the U.S.

Forstchen appeared on Pajamas Media TV to talk about his book. See Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
