It is one of his first and also one of his few 'fictional' books. Although it sometimes reads as if written by a high schooler, it conveys the effects of nuclear war on society in much greater measure than the ill-produced TV show could ever do. I havn't seen any mention of it on the nets, but then I suppose most of our prolific contributors were not alive when it was published in 1954.
