A nuclear war the US loses, defeated, occupied and president and cabinet being hunted for war crimes. The first apocalyptic story were the US looses and occupied what would be like really like to see millions die, burned, friends and family members killed by nuclear fallout, murder for food.
The author takes you on a trip were this happening and you see, feel fear and lost from the characters in the story but in some ways you also see hope even though there seems to be no hope. Also you live what it be like in a camp to live in, medical hospitals and doctors can not do anything for the dieing and bodies laying all over the place being eaten rats and dogs. You see two brothers though estranged come to gather to hold each other looking for a son and finding but destruction and no survivors and both being to sick to go on stay on the ruins of the house and die in each others arms.
You see the best and the worst in humanity in this audiobook and I recommend it to any listeners to see what it be like in a defeated and occupied America.
