Thanks.Alas, Babylon is a very good book. Written in 1959 (I was 5) it is the best post-apocalypse book I have read. It takes place in Florida mainly. The way the war starts is scary, as we are in a similar situation now.
I LOVE that book! It is on my shelves right now, after a long search. Now, be advised...there are some very, VERY mild racist overtones in the book, but considering the era in which it was written, it was a bastion of tolerance and equality!Alas, Babylon is a very good book.
