Warday is a novel by Whitley Strieber and James Kunetka, first published in 1984. It is a fictionalized account of two reporters traveling across America five years after a limited nuclear attack in order to research how the nation had changed after the war. The novel takes the form of a documentary of sorts, and is written in first-person narrative form. The novel includes fictionalized government documents and interviews with individuals to further explain the aftermath of the war.
My take on it
A pretty good one, actually. The story of one of these nuclear war stories does not always have to resort to a freakin' post-apocalyptic wasteland full of Supermutants and shoddy survivalists. This one shows that even a fairly devastating, although obviously local nuclear conflict in the continental US makes a pretty damn convincing storyline, especially when the book takes place at the height of Cold War.
