Trade paperback. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No DJ issued. Presumed First Edition, 2018 printing. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. [4], 73, [3] pages. Footnotes. Figures. Maps. Recommended Reading. About the Author. Decorative front cover. A few ink marks noted. Dr. Peter Vincent Pry was the Executive Director of the EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security, a Congressional Advisory Board dedicated to achieving protection of the United States from electromagnetic pulse (EMP), cyber attack mass destruction terrorism and other threats to civilian critical infrastructures on an accelerated basis. This "think piece" does not predict that a nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attaché is likely to occur between the national elections on November 8 and the next presidential inauguration on January 20. But it is a sign of just how deeply troubled and unpredictable are the times in which we now live, when almost every day bring another unpleasant surprise, that and or all of the scenarios this report describes are entirely plausible. This treatise is intended to serve three purposes. 1) to introduce EMP to shoe who may not be familiar with this threat and its role in the military doctrines of Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran as the 'ultimate cyber weapon"; 2) to warn that the weak foreign and defense policies of the united States have so eroded U.S. military capabilities and the credibility of U.S. security guarantees that a nuclear EMP attach U.S. allies--or against the Untied States itself--could be the next unpleasant surprise; and 3) To administer a kind of shock therapy to those who have it in their power to change the course of U.S. foreign and defense policies toward safety, and away from catastrophe. …

Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 385 pages : illustrations ; 28 cm ; ISBN 9781482092776, 1482092778 ; OCLC 881521255 ; stiff paper wrappers ; Dr. Peter Vincent Pry is Executive Director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security ; Americans are not being told by the news media about the biggest story of their lifetimes. Every night every television news channel is desperately worried about the global economic crisis, looming recession, protracted unemployment, Wall Street and the housing market, government spending and taxation, and "going over the "fiscal cliff." But there is a much bigger untold story about a threat to the global economy--and to the very existence of global civilization--yet so rarely mentioned anywhere that, as described by the title of this book, it is an "Apocalypse Unknown." The biggest story is this. December 2012 commenced the solar maximum, and significantly increased the possibility of a geomagnetic super-storm, something like a space hurricane, that could collapse electric grids and all the critical infrastructures that support modern civilization, and the lives of billions worldwide.The Sun is a gigantic ongoing thermonuclear explosion, equivalent to billions of nuclear warheads detonating every second, contained by gravity. During the solar maximum the Sun hurls into space more solar flares and coronal mass ejections--basically enormous chunks of itself, many times larger than the Earth. If one of these solar torpedoes hits the Earth, it could generate a powerful electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that would collapse electric power grids everywhere, plunging every modern nation into a protracted blackout. Perhaps permanently.Worldwide, billions could die.The Earth is overdue for a solar super-storm that could inflict a global catastrophe. The last such super-storm, called the Carrington Event, happened in 1859. It caused fires in telegraph stations and destroyed the newly laid trans-Atlantic cable. But in those horse and buggy days civilization did not depend upon electricity. The Congressional EMP Commission estimated that a Carrington class geomagnetic super-storm probably occurs every century. Arithmetic suggests that, as of this writing in December 2012, as we enter another solar maximum, we are 53 years overdue for another Carrngton Event.There is another part of this biggest story never told by the major media. Nightly news shows, to the extent they discuss foreign affairs, sometimes mention Iran's nuclear weapons program, and how it poses a threat to Israel and could provoke a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. The untold story is that a nuclear Iran--or nuclear terrorists, or North Korea, China, Russia or any state or non-state actor armed with a single nuclear missile--could make an EMP attack on the United States that would collapse the life-sustaining critical infrastructures, and threaten the existence of American civilization. The damage from a nuclear EMP attack would be deeper and harder to repair than the damage from a natural EMP catastrophe caused by a Carrington class geomagnetic super-storm. Making a nuclear EMP attack is relatively easy to do. Iran openly writes about making a nuclear EMP attack to eliminate the United States as an actor on the world stage.Hurricanes Sandy and Katrina have given America a slight foreshadowing of what life without electricity would be like, in the aftermath of an EMP inflicted by terrorists or the Sun. This book is the story of a handful of political leaders, scientists, strategists, and grassroots activists who have struggled against gargantuan bureaucracies in government and industry to protect the nation from an EMP catastrophe. It tells where we are winning--and why we may lose. Perhaps the most important message of this book is that Washington is so blind and so broken that The People need to intervene, need to ride to the rescue like the U.S. cavalry of old, to make the ignorant, stubborn and negligent bureaucrats do the right thing. ; FINE.
