I highly recommend One Second After and its two companion novels if you want to get a clear picture of an EMP attack. The power goes out for YEARS as all manufacturing is taken back to the 1800s in an invisible flash. Anything with tiny wires now has melted wires. No refrigeration means all diabetics perish first. It's a gut-wrenching story.
Great book. A bit unnerving to read though. Author got all his info from the best EMP expert in our military. So much so that there were things he was told not to print for national security reasons and other things they would not share with him.
Newt Gingrich did the honors by writing the forward for the novel. I remember Newt educating America about EMP preparedness during his presidential campaign.
