A few months ago someone here on FR recommended the novel One Second After, about an EMP that takes out all of North America. Downright bonechilling read. IIRC, the author has intelligence experience and wrote it to warn about the dangers and how ill prepared we are from the top down to deal with an EMP.

I read that book on some FReepers recommendation and you are absolutely correct.

I'm not an emotional type person and don't go in for sappy books, but that book had me crying at the end.
