I LIVE
I DIE
I LIVE AGAIN


WITNESS ME!!
I didn't see War Day by Whitley Strieber and James Kunetka mentioned. It's somewhat of a more modern(mid 80s) and less localized take on Alas, Babylon.

It's a pretty low key book, featuring the authors(as themselves, oh Strieber you card you) travelling across America to get a feel for how life is in different parts of the country after a limited-scale nuclear exchange. It's all told through first-hand accounts, interviews, and government documents. I always liked it a lot and thought it evoked a good picture of what life might be like the day after the day after for the common survivor. I've probably read it 6 times in the last 20 years since I was a middle schooler.

La Jetée is in interesting, short post apocalyptic film with the benefit that most of the students probably won't have seen it.

This would be a fabulous one for a class, since it is in fact pretty short and awesome. It also was the basis for 12 Monkeys, though that movie is uneven at best.
