Nuclear Nightmares
This would be a collection of short stories about nuclear war.
Basically, having watched The Day After of late, and being obsessed with a game called Def Con, I have to say the subject interests me. For younger reader(s) its a generational thing. Nuclear war is not something you grew up with as I did.
Each story would be in a different scenario, mostly but not exclusively alternate history.
One story would deal with the aftermath of the United States utterly annihilating the Soviet Union during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Heck there'd be a couple of stories there.
A few would deal with moral issues. Say we've stopped a nuclear attack with minimal damage and now how do we respond? Destroy the enemy completely? Nuke his capital?
Or I could just watch By Dawn's Early Light.
