Blackout Wars is about the historically unprecedented threat to our electronic civilization from its dependence on the electric power grid. Most Americans have experienced temporary blackouts, and regard them as merely an inconvenience. Some Americans have experienced more protracted local and regional blackouts, as in the aftermaths of Hurricanes Sandy and Katrina, and may be better able to imagine the consequences of a nationwide blackout lasting months or years, that plunges the entire United States into the dark. In such a nightmare blackout, the entire population of the United States could be at risk. There would be no food. No water. Communications, transportation, industry, business and finance--all of the critical infrastructures that support modern civilization and the lives of the American people would be paralyzed by collapse of the electric power grid. Millions could die. How could a catastrophic blackout happen? Threats to the electric power grid are posed by cyber attack, sabotage, a geomagnetic super-storm, and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) from the high-altitude detonation of a nuclear weapon. Blackout Wars warns that terrorists and rogue states are developing a revolutionary new military strategy that could exploit all of these threats in combination, including exploiting the opportunity of severe weather or a geo-storm, to collapse the national electric grid and all the critical infrastructures. It would be the fall of American civilization. For the first time in history, the most dysfunctional societies, like North Korea that cannot even feed its own people, or even non-state actors like terrorists, could destroy the most successful societies on Earth--by means of a Blackout War. Attacking the electric grid enables an adversary to strike at the technological and societal Achilles Heel of U.S. military and economic power. Blackout Wars likens this new Revolution in Military Affairs to Nazi Germany's Blitzkrieg strategy, secretly developed and tested in low-profile experiments during the 1930s, sprung upon the Allies in 1939-1941 in a series of surprise attacks that nearly enabled the Third Reich to win World War II. Just as the West was asleep to the threat from the Blitzkrieg, so today U.S. and Western elites are blind to the looming threat from a Blackout War.

The EMP Scare is a Giant Hoax!

The EMP Scare is a Giant Hoax!
The EMP threat is all hype manufactured by the state to enrich crony contractors. There has never been a High Altitude Nuclear EMP despite 2,476 nuclear blasts around the world and there never will be. Linked to this comment is the only book that has done a technical analysis of the issue. The EMP scare is all a giant Hoax. Click here to see the book: EMP Hoax

Probably the greatest threat facing the US today is that N Korea either uses or makes available to others the necessary pieces to launch an EMP strike against the US or Europe.

Pry is simply the best authority on the topic and writes with passion ( but without dramatics)

The Obama administration confidently announced that North Korea was far from having the capability of striking the United States with an intercontinental ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead. The statement is possibly true to totally irrelevant. They are careful to note that the primary deficiency is the lack of a smaller weapon and more importantly the targeting technology and capability of building the re-entry vehicle to deliver the nuke on target.

What Pry discusses is that N Korea has demonstrated the ability to build and detonate a substantial nuke and the ability to launch a satellite into earth orbit. The North Koreans have not only launched satellites but launched them away from our missile defenses so that the approach the US from the South Pole. Detonation of a nuke on a satellite over the heartland would destroy the electrical distribution system and electronic devices across a vast swath on the nation. It is not unthinkable that Iran would simply buy the technology and hardware with some of the billions in cash we delivered to them .

For a number of years Pry headed the nation's EMP task force.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly important issue; existential
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2018

Awfully important topic, only wish there was a way to verify the current status. Utilities are not working to protect us to reasonable degree. When there are perverse incentives, crazy things happen, and we need a way to get credible information. It appears things are badly run, but it is not clear where to turn for reliable info on important topics like this.

Is there really a knife or two at our throats? Based on how badly our protectors have failed us in the past, it is likely at least as bad as Pry is telling us with this book. Did we really not know the attack on Pearl Harbor (or 9/11) was coming? (At least, it's clear that we wouldn't have become the galvanized defender of the world if Pearl was not attacked!)

Unfortunately, whether from natural or manmade causes, the kind of blackout he's warning us about will be much worse than Pearl Harbor--we'll be history!

This book presents a realistic potential high risk revelation of the most serious challenge our country has ever faced, the destruction of the electrical grid system, nationwide. If any reader is in their "comfort zone" before starting to read this book, that feeling will completely evaporate with the factual data, and serious warnings that the experts who have long and accurate research, forthcoming in this writing. The choices presented in the book, to go all out in our country, to construct a national defense, with an almost too late start or face being thrown back into the stone age

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and Fascinating Book
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2017

Whoa! Scary. Yes, I find the book frightening. This book is very informative and detailed. At times I felt like I was reading a textbook, especially since I am not well versed in the subject matter. I feel strange noting that I enjoyed the book. I enjoyed it because of the information and my new knowledge about how unprepared we are (the United States) for a potential attack. Actually, I'm convinced the attack is inevitable but who knows when. If only this was a main topic during our presidential elections and debates. Thank you, Dr. Pry for sharing our country's and each of our individual vulnerabilities in the book. Maybe we can start a letter writing campaign to get our officials more interested and aware of our position.

I heard the interview of the writer on the Mark Levine show after listening to How articulate the author is I had to have this I had to have this book. I highly recommend this book for anyone trying to look past the faults and fake lies motivated by the liberal-left and get at the true truth I have shared many of the sections with other Patriots like myself and we're finding that the United States of America is not prepared. Read this book and find out what you need to do in your locale because it's coming just a matter of time be prepared use this book.

So far this is a great book filled with so much information. I was a little confused on an issue in the book, so I found Dr. Pry's email address and wrote him. He answered the same day and clarified it for me. I have been following his work for several years and this one doesn't disappoint. Thank you Dr. Pry for all of your hard work. I just wish more people would listen more closely and act before it's too late.
