Two things for you to google

a) Protect and Survive
b) Protest and survive!.


Check out, too Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as 'On the Beach' by Nevile Shute!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There have only been two instances where nuclear weapons have been used: Hiroshima and Nagasaki!. So, if you want to know the tales of real people surviving the blasts, including radiation sickness, do a search for survivor accounts of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings!. You can also do a search for the effects of Chernobyl, which was a Russian nuclear reactor that had a major accident!.

Other than that, there is the theory of nuclear winter, where the debris caused by a world-wide nuclear attack would block sunlight causing winter effects throughout the world!. Something similar happened in 1601 with the eruption of Peru's Mt!. Huaynaputina and in 1816 with the eruption of Indonesia's Mt!. Tambora!. You can Google the "Year without summer" for details!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Out of all wars the nuclear war will end all wars, That's because there will be no one left to fight, the world will be dead!. fact!.
Even if you survive the the fist strike it will be a matter of days before you all start to die!. and if one country was attacked and wiped put in six month the radioactive cloud would have travelled around the wound with enough radioactive power to contaminate everything and every one will still die!.

Go to your library and rent "The Day After" (1983)!. It will answer most of your questions and scare the h*ll out of you!. It was the movie that "schooled" America about nuclear war!.

P!.S!. I remember in the post-show analysis (it was a made-for-tv movie) they said that a real nuclear war would have been far worse than what was portrayed in the movie!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hiroshima was described as a graveyard without tombstones!.

Research Chernobyl!. It was a Russian nuclear plant reactor explosion, and gives a good insight onto the effects of nuclear radiation!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

For a British take on the terrible effects of a nuclear bomb check out

1!.) "The War Game" (this was a bbc film and was banned for many years)

2!.) "Threads", smiliar to the above but made in the 80s

Google video has them!. Both of these videos are shocking and will make you think!.
