Oh, I don't know.  Although I found the reasons for the start of the war
a little implausible, I could see the possibility of that limited an exchange
happening due to EMP.  Think about the amount of circuitry involved in 
arming, firing and delivering an ICBM.

I found the book all too plausible.  Makes you wonder whether surviving
is that much better than not.....
