Recommend Third World War books

I came in here to suggest this thinking no one had even heard of it let alone recommend it because it has been out of print for probably a decade and a half and like four posts mentions it. I enjoyed it. It’s a good read if you can find a copy.

I’m quite familiar with it, I used it as a book report in 9th grade, quite different from the usual sports biographies than most of my classmates used. It is an excellent book as it deals with a less than apocalyptic nuclear war. I’ll certainly grab another copy next time I see it in a used book store.

If you can ignore 2018 and place yourself mentally in 1959, Alas, Babylon is something of a classic of the genre. It drags in places, but overall it’s a good portrayal of how the residents of a small Florida town deal with the anticipation, the actuality and the aftermath.

+1. I read this my senior year of high school and loved it.
