Just wondering what books people have read that have a Morrow Project feel to them. I am going to throw in The Guardians series of books by Richard Austin. Though they would be considered Snake Eaters since they are all active U.S. military they act in many ways like a Recon team trying to secure assets that can help rebuild America after a nuclear war with the Soviet Union.

You might want to check out the "1632" books (edited by Eric Flint). They spawned the Grantville Gazette which has ideas on how to use 17th Century materials (and skills) to recreate 20th Century technology

The Guardians was directly inspired by TMP, according (I think) to Kevin Dockery, who knew the author. I could be mistaken! If I'm not further mistaken, 1632 was started as a post-apocalypse thought-experiment, so that makes the similarities more understandable. I crib a lot from "The Postman", at least the book.

helbent4,
It makes sense that the Guardians series was directly inspired by TMP. I mean from them driving around in a Cadillac-Gage V-450 Super Commando to them looking for secret projects that would help to rebuild the U.S. Lets not forget the fact that they also have numerous caches hidden across the country.

Armageddon 2419 AD, the original Buck Rogers story.
Alas, Babylon and Farnham's Freehold are good. I'd have to agree about 1632, also, although they're a different kind of oops! situation, the result is somewhat similar.
A Canticle For Liebowitz is another good read."Blessed Saint Liebowitz, keep 'em dreaming down there" Astronaut Randy Claggett, Space, James Michener
