I actually read "One Second After."
It was forwarded by Kissinger which in and of itself lead me to believe that the entire book was commissioned propaganda for the powers that were.
However, the book itself was incredible and very well written.
It is one of the best "post apocalyptic" studies out there compared to the rest of the trash like "the Road" and "Patriots." It was filled with the most realistic picture of what a national catastrophe would look and feel like.
I HIGHLY recommend it for the those out there with strong constitutions.
no pun intended, but in retrospect it was well placed....
