Alas, Babylon. Nuclear exchange. Contains all of the above. Happens in late '50s, early '60s.
caller: "Operator, I want to be connected to Atlanta." (operator sees a bright flash in the distance) "Sir... I'm sorry, but Atlanta isn't there anymore..." ******************** Farnham's Freehold. ******************* Malevil. French countryside is rocked by nuclear blast. Central characters are fortunate to live in a medieval castle. ****************** These are very old books but they are fairly accurate and comprehensive, especially "Alas, Babylon." Another nonfiction to read: Life After Doomsday. Very easy to read. Offers hope through preparation. |
| I think you missed he last part of my post. I am not looking for fictional books, although I thank you for posting. I am trying to get books for actual survival. Like "how to" books. So when all the crap goes down, I will have books to fall back on. Not looking for electronic files but actual hardcopies. |

It has a lot of good info about surviving a nuclear exchange. How to build permanent shelters and expedient shelters, etc. The Foxfire books are a treasure trove of information of how things were done in the past. Like making moonshine (wink, wink), curing meat, and things that your Great Great Great Grandparents were able to do. Vulcan94 |

These books, especially Alas Babylon, do exactly that, in a fictional format; that's why I suggest them. |
