one of the first of its kind, and written *before* the cuban missle crisis, this novel is a scary and realistic tale of what happens after a nuclear war. i re-read it every ten years or so, and it remains as real and scary as when i first read it.
the novel was the basis for a 1960 episode of "playhouse 90." i was all of 11 years old at the time, and i still wonder how my parents ever let me stay up late to watch it. the episode even featured a very young burt reynolds.
highly recommended.
