Assuming that for one reason or another an all out war occurs between the United States, Soviet Union, and there allies in the mid to late 1980s, and a full nuclear, chemical, and biological assault was made (not to mention any conventional battles) by both sides, what would the survivors of the conflict have left?

Obviously EMPs would have knocked out a lot of the more sophisticated technology, and a mass breakdown in infrastructure would mean an end to shipments of resources across the globe.

Survivors might be able to scavenge the ruins for materials however, I doubt mankind would fall back into the Dark Ages, as there should be enough information left for survivors to at least bootstrap there tech on.
