One Second After

BY SPEAKER NEWT GINGRICH
Though this book is a work of fiction, it is also a work of fact, perhaps a “future
history,” that should be thought provoking and, yes, even terrifying for all of us.
I know this from personal study, across decades, of the very real threat to
American security that is posed by this particular weapon that Bill Forstchen
writes about in One Second After.
There has been much attention given, since 9/11, to a wide variety of threats to
our nation . . .  additional attacks by the hijacking of commercial airliners, biological and
chemical attacks, even the potential of a so-called “dirty bomb,” or even an
actual nuclear detonation in the center of one of our major cities.
