Let's say that the Cuban Missile Crisis goes hot in 1962. Europe and the Soviet Union are reduced to post-nuclear wastelands, while the United States have emerged from the conflict largely intact (though having lost a number of cities and/or military installations). What could life in the post-war U.S. look like? I'm also interested in what sort of differences it would make if the U.S. was perceived as the guilty party who escalated the crisis into a full-fledged shooting war v.s. if the U.S.S.R. was perceived as the aggressor.
