I recommend Jonathon Schell's Fate of the Earth, which was written during the Reagan years.

The Cliff Notes version is that nobody will survive even a limited nuclear exchange, including so-called survivalists. A nuclear winter is likely to last several years, according to scientists he interviewed, which will wipe out food production.

The world will be encased in a thick cloud cover.

You will die.

The only question is how quickly and how painfully.
