Probably the most realistic and scary portrayal of what it would be like 
following a nuke exchange.  IIRC, the event that triggered the exchange 
was an errant missile.  What makes this book so dang scary (assuming one 
considers a nuke exchange scary) is that the Israel Air Force was 
engaging a hostile middle east country.  Too bad it didn't include some 
development of a scenario of the help hams who built the bomb and EMP 
proof shelters could have been to the US survivors.

Notwithstanding it's omission of such a scenario, it is a very good read.
