One Second After - William R Forstchen

A SECURITY ISSUE SO IMPORTANT IT HAS BECOME THE TOPIC OF A CONGRESSIONAL DEBATE AND A NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SPECIAL

One Second After is the story of a man’s struggle to save his family and his small North Carolina town after America loses a war that sends our nation back to the Dark Ages. A war lost because of a terrifying weapon, an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP)… that may already be in the hands of our enemies.

Months before publication, One Second After was cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read. It has been discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a realistic look at EMPs and their awesome ability to send catastrophic shockwaves throughout the United States, literally within seconds. EMPs are a weapon that The Wall Street Journal warned could shatter our nation. In the tradition of On the Beach, Fail-Safe, and Testament, this book, set in a typical American town, is a dire warning of what might be our future… and our end.
