That's correct... the EMP isn't the problem, but in the event of a nuclear attack (particularly in the event of a cold-war type scenario) there are secondary effects that cause problems with propagation. What I witnessed (and could derive) from the project I supported looked very interesting. I might have to dig around to see if that study was ever declassified.
But as I mentioned, if there was an EMP, we'd mostly be screwed anyway. That was another project that was done at the Air Force Institute of Technology that touched where I worked. Again - very interesting stuff. I've read the book... definitely fascinating - and frightening!

If you’re talking EMP only, there is no messing up of the atmosphere. Want an interesting read? One Second After by William R Forstchen It’s a “read chapter one and you won’t put it down” fiction and it 100% not out of the question. Two other books followed it.
