A conflict centred on an electromagnetic pulse as a weapon (EMP). a device that our adversaries might already be carrying. One Second After was already being debated in the Pentagon’s hallways months before it was ever published as a book that every American should read because it provided a realistic look at a weapon with the incredible capacity to obliterate the entire country in a matter of seconds. The Wall Street Journal warns that this weapon has the potential to destroy America. This book, which is set in a typical American community, is an ominous warning of what might be our future…and our demise, in the vein of On the Beach, Fail Safe, and Testament.
This is for civil defence and national preparedness, not for survivalists. This will prevent the deaths of 280 million Americans. This is being done to halt the biggest act of genocide in human history—the us. The liberals who believe this is about conservative politics rather than their survival will be the first people to vanish from America following a successful EMP attack, so they have something to laugh about as well. This book is a fictional attempt to portray the horrors of an EMP attack on the USA because such an attack has not yet taken place and because there is almost probably no one remaining who can write such history or who is American enough to feel our loss.
The protagonist, a college professor with military experience in a small college town in the Appalachian foothills, rallies his family and the town’s leaders to survive the crisis after an EMP attack, although that fact is not immediately recognized. Both emotionally and societally, an EMP attack has a number of horrifying impacts, including some violent ones.
