About the book :
The Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse (NEMP) as a result of a high-altitude
nuclear explosion poses a severe threat to all
electronic systems. Power and energy distribution; transport, computer,
communications and military systems would all be
affected simultaneously across the country. Technology is so wound
into the fabric of our society that immediate and lasting
social disruption would be certain.
This booklet sets out to describe NEMP: how it is produced; what its
effects would be and what it implies for military strategy.
It also considers the measures that would be needed to protect against
the pulse and shows that protection is not feasible
except for highly critical systems where cost is not a consideration.
