A review by krism
Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank

5.0

The book was written in 1959 and was one of the first apocalyptic stories of the nuclear age. It focuses on a small town in Florida that is unscathed by any direct hits but is now almost completely cut off from the rest of the nation. Lots of things go wrong but lots of things also go right as they struggle to survive and rebuild. An interesting book!
