This study was made in 1979 in response to a request from the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. They wanted to understand what the effects of a nuclear war would be on the United States and the Soviet Union. What I found interesting is the Appendix C. It contains a fictional account written by Nan Randall of what would happen in Charlottesville, VA in the aftermath of all out nuclear war. Pretty crazy stuff. I can’t help but feel the outcome would be even more grim today, forty-one years after this was written, because of our increased reliance on technology.
