The man was woken up many hundreds of years in the future, when all men had died out, and only women lived. Men were dug up from graves and brought back to work as mindless slaves ( and for reproduction purposes). He was a mistake that allowed him to return to life with his mind intact. I have looked all over the net for it, but when I type in the title, I usually wind up with links going to Bible-related books. Can someone help???

From Indiana to a dangerous no MAN'S land

Journeyman carpenter, Owen Hall -- killed in 1943 during an unfortunate accident at a railroad crossing -- finds himself resurrected thousands of years later in a world dominated by women. The men are all automatons, without free will or conscience.

In just 24 hours, Owen wreaks havoc on this disciplined female civilization, turning it topsy-turvy by refusing to obey orders. But as his madcap adventures threaten to destroy their ordered world, the women realize that Owen's independence must be corrected...

Suddenly Owen must use all his cunning and guile against a horde of determined female warriors if he is to stay alive ... with a mind of his own!"

From Publishers Weekly
In his first novel outside of his acclaimed Lewis Cole mystery series (Shattered Sand, Forecasts, Feb. 15, etc.), DuBois delivers an alternate-history thriller that deserves to be as popular as Robert Harris's Fatherland. DuBois postulates an America that has been politically devastated by a nuclear exchange arising from the Cuban missile crisis. It's now 1972. Washington, D.C., is a radioactive crater; Nelson Rockefeller is running for president against George McGovern; and Boston Globe reporter Carl Landry is investigating the shooting death of a 60-year-old retired serviceman. Warned off the story after it gets spiked by the military's in-house censor, and emboldened by Sandra Price, a beautiful reporter from the London Times, Landry keeps digging at Swenson's past. What he uncovers is the truth behind the rumors of what really happened in the White House as the missile crisis spun out of controlAand evidence of an unholy alliance that is poised to reverse the course of American history. From cryptic references to post-bomb chaos in California to clever reworkings of '60s history (e.g., antidraft demonstrators chanting, "Hell, no, we won't glow!"), DuBois creates a sobering and imaginatively detailed vision of an America that has been crippled by tragedyAa nation where John F. Kennedy was not the King Arthur of Camelot but its Mordred, the man who brought down everything. One of DuBois's many brilliant touches is an underground of diehard Kennedy supporters who scrawl the graffiti "He Lives" on every available surface, because they believe that JFK was not only innocent, but is still alive and broadcasting from a pirate radio station. Cohesively plotted and smoothly written, steadily exciting and rife with clever conceits, this is what-if thriller fiction at its finest. Foreign rights sold in the U.K., Germany and Holland. (June)

I was also able to find more info about your book. Interesting. It's all about a "What If.." theory. What if the Cuban Missile Crisis turned out differently? What would've been the consequences? This is what the book's all about, I think.
