IN LIGHT OF MY EARLIER comments on William Forstchen’s One Second After, here’s a review from John Walker, who thinks Forstchen’s a bit too pessimistic about the consequences of an EMP attack. I certainly hope so. Especially because of this: “Little or no effort has been expended on hardening the civil infrastructure or commercial electronics against this threat.” If I ran things, infrastructure would be a lot harder, and there’d be a lot more foodstuffs, medicine, and spare parts in emergency storage. That would be a better use for “stimulus” money than most of the places it’s actually going . . . .
