Novelist, Expert Says Potential Nuclear EMP Attack Isn't Just Fiction, US Should Prepare

Excessive heat in parts of the country is straining the nation's aging electrical power grid. Temporary brownouts may occur in different places. But what would happen if the United States lost electricity permanently? Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb (E.M.P.) experts warn America's enemies are already targeting the U.S. for a devastating attack, and at least one expert believes such an attack is inevitable. An E.M.P. is a nuclear weapon designed to explode high in the atmosphere, resulting in a knockout of a country's electrical power grid. Historian William Forstchen is a New York Times bestselling author and an expert on E.M.P.'s. His new novel is, Five Years After, a political thriller about the aftermath of such an attack. "Hits the earth's surface, feeds into our electrical wiring, and starts shorting out the entire power grid. If they launch three missiles (in the) eastern and central western United States, it would shut our grid down permanently," Forstchen said.
