This Is the Way the World Ends

The Gulliver s Travels of the nuclear age, the Alice in Wonderland of the arms race, this mordantly funny and visionary tale of the apocalypse was a Nebula finalist. The trouble starts when George Paxton ingenuously signs an admission of complicity in starting World War III. The only book in the last ten years that I ve read twice...a remarkable achievement (Arthur C. Clarke).
