Summary
What would happen if America were to be attacked with an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapon capable of disabling all communications devices such as radios, telephones, televisions, and computers; and not be able to recover for several decades? In their book, The Open Source Guide to Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons, the authors offer an in-depth examination into what it takes to prepare and defend a communications-dependent nation from an EMP attack. Using credible, unclassified, and open sources, this text provides answers to questions such as: What is an EMP? Which countries possess EMP capabilities? How can America prepare, defend against, and mitigate the effects of EMP attacks?
