====== The Day After ======

Another American spinoff of //**[[Protect and Survive]]**// by [[offtopic:Gen Patton]]. The title is, of course, inspired by the eponymous 1983 nuclear war drama. The timeline is not centered on any particular region of the US, but shows several prior and after The Exchange. Read it [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/1/post-5461582|here]]. Alternatively, use the chapter guide available below.

Minor note : The TL was abandoned by the author in order to better concentrate on **//[[Duck and Cover]]//** (the preferred one of his two spinoffs). The TL will probably stay that way. Nevertheless, we hope you'll enjoy your read !

==== Chapters ====

Don't worry if you don't see the title cards to the various chapters. The author had the tendency to post them separately before he posted the chapter itself (especially in the first few cases when the TL was starting).
